And the winners have been revealed on washingtonpost.com’s Best Blog contest for political and election blogs.

The contest, which took nominations starting a couple of months ago, had readers decide which blogs were the cream of the crop in topics such as “Most Likely to Last Beyond Election Day,” “Best Rant” and “Best Inside the Beltway.”

National Review’s The Corner blog won in several categories; in fact, conservative blogs by and large dominated the entire contest. The lovely Wonkette, she of the arse-f*cking, only took in an Honorable Mention for “Best Campaign Dirt.” But don’t feel too sorry for her; it’s been reported that Ana Marie Cox recently signed a six-figure book publishing deal.

This weekend’s Names & Faces reports:

“It’s not chick-lit,” [Cox] tells us. “It’s not Bridget Jones does Washington. … It’s Nick Hornby does politics.” With any famous D.C. types? “There’ll be some recognizable characters,” she says slyly.
