Capitol Annex Readers’ Choice Best & Worst Of 2006

The voting is over and you have spoken: Capitol Annex readers—several hundred readers, in fact—have decided what people and events from 2006 make up the “Best & Worst” of one of the most bizarre years in Texas political history.

All winners selected below may feel free to take the logo at left and put it on their websites or blogs. I’ll do a separate graphic for nominees runners up, honorable mentions and finalists later that will be “blog sized.”

Now, a word on the results. Please keep in mind that, in the first round, people were asked to make nominations. The people/blogs/commercials/etc. with the most nominations made it to the finals. In some categories, in particular the blog categories, there were some very close votes and even ties which resulted in more finalists than in some categories.

For today’s results, there are “Winners” in all categories, “Runner Ups” in most categories, and “honorable mentions” in some categories. Runners up received the second highest number of votes; in instances where voting was very close, “honorable mentions” received the third highest number of votes.

So, without further DeLay (ha, ha, ha ha ha, fa la la la la, la la la la), here are the winners:

Reader’s Choice: Final Round

The votes in the first round of the Capitol Annex Reader’s Choice Awards have been counted and let me tell you: it’s quite interesting.

Sadly, one of the most nominated things in nearly every category was Rick Perry saying “Mo Fo.” However, since that happened in 2005, it didn’t make it into the finals.

The “best” blogs categories are interesting, too. Two CD 22 blogs, Musings and “World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon” (though not strictly a blog) garnered enough votes to get in the finals both in the “Best Blog” and “Best Regional Blog” category. And, CD-22 blogs dominated the regional category like nobody’s business.

Vote in the final round here! You have until the 20th! Also, thanks to all of the extra nominations in our last two questions in the first survey, we’ve got some awesome “honorable mentions” to include when we tabulate the final responses.

Remember: it’s all YOUR CHOICE because YOU are the readers.

I’ve summed up the first-round winners after the jump.
