The final results of our poll are in – and our readers selected the O.C. Weekly’s Gustavo Arellano as the “Most Influential Political Blogger in Orange County.” Congratulations Gustavo!
Some of the results were a bit surprising. Two bloggers who quit the Orange Juice, to go blog elsewhere, Thomas Gordon and Claudio Gallegos, only merited a combined six votes! And our own blogger and webmaster, Terry Crowley, got as many votes as veteran O.C. Register blogger Martin Wisckol.
Terry also got more votes than the two blue county guys, Dan Chmielewski and Chris Prevatt , over at the Liberal OC. They combined for only 11 votes!
And kudos to Heather Pritchard, of O.C. Progressive, for getting more votes than her two male comrades, Joe Shaw and Gus Ayer. You go Heather!
Thanks to everyone for voting…
Thanks for not mentioning who brought up the rear! 🙂 🙂
Aww come on Art, you know you want to say it:
“And Matt Cunningham seals the top three, at Red County”!
I know it hurts but…..
Arturo Lomeli
Great Blogger as well
Gracias, OJ readers for this honor! I do humbly forward it to ALL my colleagues at the Weekly, as we as a collective whole won the LA Press Club award last year for Best News Blog in Southern California.
Gustavo is the best. Thanks for all your investigative reporting. Especially on the predators that exploit our children. You have unbelievable courage and focus. You rock!
Gustavo,
Our readers are pretty smart. They voted you and Moxley into our top five.
Congrats on the Press Club Award. Bet you win it again this year!
Duplojohn,
I wanted to give Matt a chance to toot his own horn, but his masters have forbidden him to leave the Red Clownty cage…
*Congrats to Gustavo, Scott, Matt & Art…not to
mention of course Steve, Larry and all the other
great nominees. All well deserved! It was just
nice to get to play in the big game with all the
huge Orange County personalities!
For Red and Geoff….we invite you for the new
traditional method of grief consuling…by having
coffee and a danish at Champagnes…on us!
Oh, one more thing…Red and Geoff and the two
us will also be inviting Mr. Irrevlent Ryan Succop of the University of South Carolina…a kicker of course – to join us as well!
What’s next? Dancing with the bloggers and televised on you-tube?
Well Gustavo is a good choice for a winner.
Congrats Gustavo!
Gustavo,
Congratulations! I will have to follow your stories. I am new here! Enjoy your title 🙂
