Council speak 11/17/06

The council spoke last Friday and with a tie-breaking cast by the Watcher himself, JoshuaPundit's March of Folly won the competition for best council post. In a nutshell, JoshuaPundit argues something I wanted to blog about but haven't (yet) and that the Republican loss this election may be tied to the Bush administration's failure to communicate. An excellent read!

Second place was newcomer American Future's The Politics of Iraq in which he argues that Republican loss does not necessarily portend disaster.

Among non-council posts the winning entry - again by virtue of a tiebreaker - was Why intellectuals love defeat at TCS Daily.

The runner up was Have you a daughter? at Reconquista, which was about the status of women in Islamist societies.

Finally, even if you're not a member of the Watcher's Council, you may submit a recent post for consideration by following the instructions here.
