Coolest SOB In The Conservative Blogosphere Award 2013

Don’t forget to clue in your nominees, so that they have a chance of winning…

*****

Here are the contestants so far, and the handicaps based on their Alexa Traffic Rank.

David @ The Daily Cheese the daily cheese is the only one I could not find a rank on. I will let him pick his own handicap…

The deadline to nominate someone will be June 1st 2013 at midnight CST.

I gave everyone one vote apiece so that you can see how you rank on the handicap. I will update the chart again June 1st, and have the poll up June the 2nd…

(This gets confusing, let me know if anything is wrong)

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.

wpid-Andrew-Breitbartposterfinsmi-1.jpgI 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

————————————————-

Handicap

Big Blogs: All sites with a an Alexa Traffic Rank of less than 150,000 will see no increase in the vote count.

Moderately Big Blogs: All Sites with an Alexa Traffic Rank of between 150,000 and 500,000 will see an increase of 25% in the vote count.

Medium Sized Blogs: All Sites with an Alexa Traffic Rank of between 500,000 and 1,000,000 will see an increase of 50% in the vote count.

Smaller Blogs: All Sites with an Alexa Traffic Rank of 1,000,000 or greater will see an increase of 100% in the vote count.

————————————————-

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)

Update: To save time and work the legacy of participation rule will apply. Those who have been nominated will remain nominated from now on. 

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.

  54. I’ve waited a time to see who had their names added here because there are so many worthy of this title. Where are you people – get busy, as Breitbart would say.

    I will nominate Reaganite Republican because he is one pithy and very cool SOB, and Grumpy at Grumpy Opinions because, as Mike Kane says below, he has built in an empire in a very short time and has helped many bloggers along the way.I also nominate Dave Blount at Moonbattery, who is always on top of everything with commentary worthy of the SOB Coolness Factor and Doug Ross who finds the best graphs on our economic mess and has some mighty weighty opinions as well.One more: I nominate I’m a man, I’m 41 because he’s a funny writer (in the best possible way), runs Conservative Blog Central where he promotes other bloggers and has REAL ideas about helping a Republican administration grow the economy and jobs. That’s very cool.There are others I want to name and will along the way if others don’t start chiming in here.

    • conservativeBC says:

      The real idea came from a guest blogger — but it is a great plan for getting Romney elected. If it would just get some exposure.

      Thanks for nominating me :)

  55. Mike Kane says:

    I’d like to nominate ‘Grumpy’ over at http://www.grumpyelder.com for this year’s competition.  Over the past several years he’s built one heck of a site dedicated to the old, gray, and grumpy everywhere. 

    The thing of it is, the appeal of the site is that it has a little bit of everything for Conservative folks regardless of age, hair color, or particular mood at the time. 

    I’m not sure how he finds, and posts, the volume of Conservative content he delivers.  It’d kill a lesser man.  

  56. Pingback: Coolest SOB In The Conservative Blogosphere Award 2013 | Grumpy Opinions

  57. Grumpy Elder says:

    You need some publicity, I found out you were running the contest again this year by accident,  I’ll post a short piece today or tomorrow, It’s a good contest, everyone benefits and no one gets hurt.  I was shocked, and honored this year just to get nominated..  I looked at the names and the list and shook my head wondering how the devil I got there–

    I’m not sure if nominating two sites is allowed or not, but two names names came to mind immediately followed by about thirty others over the next two minutes..  

    The first two that came to mind were;

    Maggie at Maggie’s Notebook-  She’s a fantastic researcher and a damned good writer, I visit her regularly, it’s not unusual to find her posting information a couple days ahead of other bloggers, and a week in front of the Old Media..  She seldom rants, but knows how to make her point.. You can find her here

       http://www.maggiesnotebook.com/

    Bob Mack at “Be Sure You’re Right Then Go Ahead” was the other site.  Bob’s a straight shooter who lays things clearly in the unmistakable style of a Veteran.  Recently Bob has started doing his own artwork instead of just grabbing an image off the net.. He’s come up with some pretty neat stuff, and if you ask him, he’s not opposed to letting other conservative bloggers use his art..

    You can find Bob here

     http://crockettlives.wordpress.com/

    I could keep going, there are thousands of great conservative sites out there– I look at dozens of them everyday..
