I know there's never been a political barrier in the selection process. <BR/><BR/>In a way, my complaint is really aimed not at the Carnivals as much as it is at the liberals who don't participate in them.Ahistoricalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004964192885891003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045565.post-1141933518075284592006-03-09T14:45:00.000-05:002006-03-09T14:45:00.000-05:00One of these days I'll probably volunteer myself. ...One of these days I'll probably volunteer myself. <BR/><BR/>For now, I've just been trying to give a little balance to the CoV (and the Carnivals of Satire and Comedy, both of which are usually very well hosted but very heavy on political humor from the right) by encouraging submissions (and making submissions myself, when I find stuff) from the Left, drawing attention to the good stuff and the exposure it brings. <BR/><BR/>I do think it's odd that I seem to be the only liberal (among the bloggers I read, anyway) who pays any attention to what should be multi-partisan fun.Ahistoricalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004964192885891003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045565.post-1141918773108774252006-03-09T10:39:00.000-05:002006-03-09T10:39:00.000-05:00Liberals are welcome to host!

And enter!<BR/><BR/>I think what happened historically is that Bigwig started CotV, after a while got others to host, and because it tended to be people he read/knew, and people who read politically like-leaning blogs that participated, the host volunteers leaned right and maybe libertarian.<BR/><BR/>In addition to the emphasis on quality, I'd like to see it be nonpartisan in who hosts, links, and enters. The hard part is that a host might have to hold his nose and link disagreebale entries in the category of politics without any antics. I think most bloggers have that in them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
