To the surprise of nobody . . .

Wertz

I'm going to buck tradition and nominate Vermillion for the mammoth amount of research he's done on threads like "The Surge in Baghdad" this year.

Amlord

It's hard to go against the power that is Vermillion and Wertz, but I'm giving the nod to BoF.

I'm going to go with nebraska29. He cites his sources, often brings additional research to a thread, and always posts from a substantial body of accumulated knowledge.

Never failing to fully support her posts - I nominate Lesly.
