I know how to pick a winner

As you know, I back McCain for President. I now have proof positive — at least one day’s worth — that I know how to pick a winner. Why? Because every single one of the Watcher’s submissions that I voted for won. Yay! And I have to tell you, it was a much harder choice than that between McCain and Obama, which is, for me, a no-brainer. This week’s submissions, both Council and non-Council were so good I spent forever waffling back and forth as I tried to select the ones I thought were truly that much better than the others. So, without further ado, here are the results:
Council Winners
1. Wolf Howling – Standing At The Crossroads – Identity Politics, Multiculturalism & The Melting Pot – Winning submission with 3 votes!
2. Soccer Dad – An exceptional choice – 2nd place with 1 2/3 votes.
3. Joshua Pundit – The Game Changer – Duty, Honor, Country – 3rd place with 1 1/3 votes.
4. The Glittering Eye – Waiting for the Takeover (Updated) – 5th place with 1 vote.
5. (T*) The Razor - Dems Proving the GOP is really… – 5th place tie with 2/3 votes.
5. (T*) The Colossus of Rhodey – Is the Philly Daily News Literally Going Nuts?” – 5th place tie with 2/3 votes.
5. (T*) Rhymes With Right – A Bad Political Dad From History?- 5th place tie with 2/3 votes.
Non-Council Winners
1. Beldar Blog- Don’t Confuse Republicans’ thrill over the Palin nomination with the Dems’ worship of Obama: A reply to Paul Mirengoff – Winning submission with 1 2/3 votes!
2. (T*) Real Clear Politics: The Media’s ‘Due Dilligence’ – 2nd place tie with 1 1/3 votes.
2. (T*) EU Referendum: The Awkwardness Of Truth – 2nd place tie with 1 1/3 votes.
2. (T*) City Journal: Organizer in Chief – 2nd place tie with 1 1/3 votes.
2. (T*) The Anchoress: Over Palin; not “hypocrisy,” you never knew us- 2nd place tie with 1 1/3 votes.
3. Somewhere on AIA: Bad News for the Press… We’re going to see more of this 3rd place with 1 vote.
4. The QandO Blog: QandO’s Stupid Journalist Tricks – 4th place with 2/3 votes.
5. La Shawn Barber: Americans Doing Jobs Illegal Aliens CAN’T Do” – 5th place with 1/3 vote.

When a woman’s involved, everybody gets fired up and inspired ; )
I agree.
The Wolf Howling post, the winner, is a truly inspired and excellent entry, perhaps the best of all the nominees I’ve read this year. I thought it was great. I’m saving it. I’m printing it. I’m going to think about it quite a bit over the next few days.
And the winner in the other category, the BeldarBlog entry, is quite good as well, outlining why Sarah Palin should not be considered just another Obama-like celebrity entry onto the national scene. (Well… that Republicans at least, should take another look, before they buy into the whole celebrity meme.)
Some of the other entries were pretty good, too, but those two truly do stand out!
