Support the Report! 2009 Florida Netroots Awards voting is now open!

September 15, 2009 · Posted in Blogging 

Support your local ReidBlog! Voting is now open for the 2009 Florida Netroots Awards. The Reid Report is nominated in a couple of categories: best national blog, and best professional blog (I’m up against stiff competition in both categories, including the Florida for Obama campaign…)

As for recommendations, I voted for my boys at FLA Politics for best state blog, the good folks at SouthFloridaDailyBlog (who give me lots of link love) for best local blog; I went with my fellow Harvardian Dave Aronberg for best candidate site and netroots candidate of the year and Giancarlo Sopo for best new blogger (for Generation Miami.) I also supported Ken Quinnell for activist of the year, The Daily Sift, for best ongoing series, Fair Districts Florida for best online campaign, and for the Progressive Hall of Fame,I went with Kirk Wagar, because in my opinion he was one of the keys to Barack Obama winning Florida — he was in early, and stayed true to the end, (tough call there between him, Steve Schale, and Teddy Johnston.) I’m not as familiar with all the other entrants, and there are lots of other great candidates (Eric Jotkoff of the Florida Dems is one…) but definitely planning to check them all out.

Vote HERE (early and often!) Voting runs through September 29.

UPDATE: Okay, Floridians, don’t take me too seriously just because of the 2000 election — vote ONCE (and for me..) :) Also, I know I missed a bunch of shout-outs, one being Democracy for America (D4A) Miami. Big ups! Ditto for Beth Reinhard and the other bloggers at Naked Politics. Good luck to everyone who was nominated in all categories! :)

    Thanks for the shout-out (and the vote), but people can only vote once. So vote early, but not often…
