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:
