Guido has been shortlisted for the Guardian Backbencher’s political weblog awards.

The resulting volume of hits is putting pressure on the servers Guido uses for graphics. Don’t let that stop you voting.

So Vote Guido for Political Blog of the Year. Vote because you laughed at Guido’s graphics like this, this, this, this, and this. Oh and the pictures, even the one of Boris. Mind you, remember Guido was first with this, and not forgetting the misfortunes of Candy. And because Guido risks the writs, here, here and here. Vote because it would be absolutely right. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I shall expect a vote from the Guardian’s own diarist.
