| All of us here at Blue Jersey want to thank all of you for the recognition we got today from The Fix, Chris Cillizza's hot political column at the Washington Post: Blue Jersey is listed in Cillizza's column as the Best State Blog in New Jersey, a distinction we share, oddly enough, with Save Jersey. Big thanks to Chris for generating the best blogs list, which he put together after soliciting recommendations from his own readers at the Washington Post.
Washington Post The Fix Best State Blogs
So, it's a good day here at the homeblog. And if Blue Jersey's lucky enough to be recognized like this, I assure you a great deal of the credit goes to the entire Blue Jersey community. Our readers - who we strongly encourage to weigh in and state their own opinions - are primo. The very best. All the writers get a lot out of reading you, because you are - for us and if they're smart, for Democrats - the biggest, best barometer of what's really going on in this state.
That goes for you lurkers, too. We know you're on - because when big news drops, we watch our stats go up. If you don't already have an account (they're free), please get one, and drop in a comment on whatever's important to you. Anytime. Thanks to all our followers on Twitter (more than 2,000) and facebook (more than 1,000).
Biggest thanks, from me, to our writers. Seriously? Sometimes I can't believe my luck. I get to hang out with some of the smartest, toughest, most decent people in New Jersey. It's my privilege to be here with Adam L, Bill Orr, Deciminyan, DSWright, Hopeful, Jay Lassiter, Jeff Gardner, Jersey Jazzman, KendalJames, and the_promised_land. Senator Loretta Weinberg used to tell me she'd get home after a long day and log into Blue Jersey just to save her sanity. Grateful she's now a Blue Jerseyan, too.
We also got that nod the last time Cillizza compiled a list - in 2009 - but that time there were 4 blogs listed; this year, only two. We're also on Washington Post's list of the Best Political Tweeters in the country. Are you following @bluejersey?
Thanks, everybody. You kinda rock. |
