We did that already. Raymi The Minx won. :em23:

I would like to plead that at least one bona fide so-con be added to the panel. Someone really in favour of equality for unborn children and heterogamy (my word for “traditional definition of marraige, as opposed to “homogamy”).

If we’re going to be representative, let’s be really representative. So-Con Squandron is a good place to start to find a so-con. I would hate to see it being a panel of Liberals, NDPers and token Red Tories. I would like to see a WIDE variety of political representation. Of course the “center” will be heavily represented, but I would hope you would aim for a good mix of “marginals” in there. I am sick to death of the MSM being focused on a small spectrum of belief. Let’s mix it up.

I also suggest that you select among those who read widely across the political spectrum. Some bloggers don’t.

I can’t really distinguish between male and female bloggers because I rarely check to see if what I am reading was written by a man or woman…

Maybe I should post this at my place.[/quote]

We all have individual likes and dislikes of blogs, Devin. That’s why I was taking those people to task at Cherniak’s site for complaining about who he chose and who he didnt. :em49: It’s his personal list.. he can choose who he wants.

Sure.. post it at your blog.. anything to generate discussion.

No, It would be for every blog involved out there. If it was only for Prog Blog, I’d not even have suggested the Blogging Tories be on the panel, or the non-partisans and unaffiliated’s for that matter.

I can’t really distinguish between male and female bloggers because I rarely check to see if what I am reading was written by a man or woman. That said, I will say that Michelle Oliel would not be anywhere my top 10, or top 1,000 for that matter. Anyways, here are my top five bloggers of 2006 (regardless of gender):

1) BCer in Toronto — After meeting him in Montreal I have made it a point to read Jeff’s blog and have discovered that it is one of the best (the best?) around.

2) Calgary Grit — Dan’s posts are the most informative on the blogosphere. I especially enjoyed his “Best PM Canada Never Had” feature.

3) Canadian Cerberus — Although he has not posted for more than three weeks, Ted was prolific in the months leading up to the leadership convention.

4) Political Staples — If I have to pick a Blogging Tory, its Greg. Joanne at Joanne’s Journey isn’t too bad either. Both are miles ahead of the more widely recognized Kate MacMillan, Stephen Taylor or Steve Jahnke.

5) Slap Upside the Head — Mark has one of the most entertaining and original blogs anywhere. I look forward to seeing what he has to say (draw) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

By the way, I don’t consider Wells, Kinsella, Radwanski, Coyne, Akin, Doskoch, Zerbesias, etc. to be bloggers. While I do read their stuff regularly, they are in a different category from those of us who do something else for a living.

Maybe I should post this at my place.

I’m just asking.
