Digby aka Hullabaloo is Favorite Female Blogger


Little doubt existed in my mind that Digby, who blogs at Hullabaloo, would win the Women’s Voices Women Vote contest for favorite female blogger.

I voted for her, after all. (I also voted for myself.)

To those who know that Digby is a woman, she is easily identifiable as a favorite female blogger. But up until June 2007, her identity was unknown and she is a favorite among all bloggers and blog readers, not only women. Watch this wonderful speech that she gave, upon accepting the Paul Wellstone Citizen Leadership Award on behalf of the progressive blogosphere at Take Back America 2007/Campaign for America’s Future. The Nation posted her speech (and another link to the video) here.

Thank you very, very much to everyone who voted for me. I was saying to someone yesterday that for as ridiculous as it might sound when an Oscar nominee says, “Oh, I’m so honored just to be nominated with this group of incredibly talented individuals,” let me just repeat: I am so honored just to be in the group of ten who received the most votes in the first phase of WVWV’s contest. Actually – I was shocked. I just don’t have that many valid e-mails in my address book (you should see how many bounced back).

For the record, I believe in World Peace and I know where the United States is on a map (can you believe that there have been more than 24 million views of that?). But I guess that just wasn’t enough this time around.

Please keep an eye on WVWV – they have great materials targeted to unmarried women, but also useful for anyone who is interested in eradicating inequalities that persist as a result of being female.

    I voted for you, but expected Digby to win too. If I’d voted twice (or more times), I’d voted for her and a couple of other female bloggers as well.

    I was hoping you’d make it into the top three, but dangit, maybe next year.

    And, oh Jill:

    “For the record, I believe in World Peace and I know where the United States is on a map…”

    I wasn’t expecting that to be what you were linking to!
