The Council has spoken

Here are the winners of last week's Watchers Council vote presented with the Watcher's commentary:

This weeks winners are in and it is clear that the overriding topics were concerned with the failure of the GOP and the new challenges we face going forward under an Obama administration.

Both winning entries discussed what must be done to rebuild the GOP going forward. This was echoed by many other posts. That topic alone will be a pressing issue going forward as conservatives look back on two consecutive defeats thanks to a lackluster leadership and the failure to reach independents.

Please enjoy this weeks’ winning entries:
