THE COOLEST SOB IN THE CONSERVATIVE BLOGOSPHERE 2013!!

(SOB = Sweet Old Blogger)

About The Contest

There are thousands of super cool personalities in the conservative blogosphere. This award is not only an attempt to find the coolest, but also to celebrate the rest of them.

When I first started blogging, I sent a tip to Andrew Brietbart on just on a whim. It was before he became so famous by bringing down ACORN, but he still was a big time blogger. I almost fell down when I received a return email. I first thought it was a robo-email until I read it. He thanked me and said that he had already run story, but that he appreciated my effort.

I remember thinking “that is one cool SOB.” He took time out of his busy schedule to answer an email from a nobody blogger who was a stranger to boot.

He is not the only blogger out there that excels in: all around coolness, class, common courtesy, etiquette, selflessness, and genuine respect for the efforts of other conservative bloggers — no matter how minimum.

So in honor of him and other classy SOBS like him, I am kicking off the first annual “Coolest SOB In The Conservative Blogoshpere” award.

————————————————————-

Grumpy Elder: “You need some publicity, I found out you were running the contest again this year by accident“

I am getting a start on it early because I felt bad because some really great bloggers didn’t get clued in last time until after the contest started.

*****

Some of the changes for 2013 will be an improved simplified handicap system, no ability to nominate yourself, and the ability to vote multiple times (multiple people).

Plus, I will not be nominating anyone myself this time.

The deadline to nominate someone will be June 1st 2013 at midnight CST. Voting will began June the 2nd as soon as I can get the poll up.

Voting Will Last One Week

————————————————-

To nominate someone

Leave their name or pseudonym, the name of the site at which they blog, and it’s url address in the comment box below.

(If you want them to have a chance of winning, you will need to clue them in before the voting starts)

I will update this thread once a month with the nominee’s information at the bottom in the comment box.

Note: Comments on threads close after 100 days (because of pingback spam) — if you can’t comment, email your nominee to me at forconservativeblogscentral@yahoo.com.

————————————————-

Every nominee will receive a recognition award. I will place them at the bottom of this thread after the results are in.

The 2nd and 3rd place winners will also receive awards, to commemorate them holding the Coolest SOB In The Conservative Blogoshpere’s balls off the hot pavement while he/she accepts theirs.
