Georgy for Governor!
I'm curious what everyone's opinion is of Georgy, the 26 year old software engineer running for Governor of California. I'm impressed that she takes a firm stand on political issues, but I'm even MORE impressed at the Classic thong you can purchase at her online store!
Best Political Blog, Candidate Division: Georgy for Governor Blog
Ahem. I know you're thinking that this award has something to do with candidate Georgy Russell selling thong underwear on her site. You can give me more credit than than, right? Right? Anyhow, the 26-year-old software engineer deserves kudos for doing something the other candidates haven't: getting personal with a well-written Weblog. She explains her differences with Arianna Huffington, lists her schedule of events and media appearances (surprisingly plentiful), and raised the money she needed to get on the ballot online. OK, the BBC interview with Russell called her a "young thing," but her blog showed she even has some media criticism chops. "The recall coverage in California has given the press unseen opportunities to cover politics," she wrote. "...What we end up with is something for almost everyone in the land of recall entertainment, but not much in the way of the nitty-gritty in terms of candidates' political plans."
