A very well deserved award.

Seriously, that was totally awesome!

Wow, both Malkin and Breitbart have had some huge moments this year. Just being in the same sentence as those two would be an honor for anyone, but winning? Way to go Erick!

Thats amazing! I never would have expected this!! Can’t believe you beat Michelle Malkin! That is truly amazing! Great job

It’s all so sudden, I didn’t even know I was in the running!

And thank you for providing this forum for us.

I feel very privileged to be here.

It’ll be a lot cooler if you tell me he beat somebody who sucks. Tell me he beat Arianna, Markos, FireDogLesbian ????

Very much deserved! I love the site and check it at least twice a day.

Very much deserved, Erick. You have been relentless is your efforts. Congratulations!!!

Well deserved! I appreciate all you do here, and enjoy reading your insights. Thanks and good job!!

Well deserved. You realize the Dems are gnashing their teeth tonight… and the NRSC.

Can’t think of anyone who deserves it better.
Congratulations, Erick

RedState was huge in getting me up to speed on “stuff”… huge accomplishment all around, well deserved Erick. You have a “ripple impact” in your own journalism and those you inspire to step in also.

In a field of highly deserving candidates, there’s no question you deserve this.

deserved. He also noted that he would be watching this thread and would stomp the crap out of any dissenters.

And Franz said Woof!

You surely deserve it! Redstate has become my favorite spot in the past few weeks. Thanks for all you and the other contributors do to keep us informed.

God bless you!

Well earned.

Send a picture to the White House so they know what an earned award looks like.

Boy, i picked a bad night to kick up a row over one of his posts!

Seriously, though, Erick, from one of the long-termers, this is an awesome recognition. I’m looking forward to an even more significant 2010 with your energy and leadership of this activist site.

You deserve it. I love this webiste since I discovered it during the summer of 2008. Andrew and Michelle had big moments but this website is consistently informative, and I visit at least once a day, if not more, depending on my schedule.

I love the Red State daily emails. I find out most of what I need to know in that or here. Thank you!

While we may occasionally have our disagreements, I will admit Erick deserves this award.

Well deserved. I can’t think of a more comprehensive resource than RedState!

Your award was very well deserved.

God Bless You.

Beating out Malkin and Breitbart, perhaps two of the most recognizable figures from the New Media is one heck of an accomplishment.

When it comes to influence in the New Media, it’s RedState hands down.

Erick….you have been our Paul Revere.
I am in awe of your presence.
Did you get those flowers…?
Thank you and congratulations.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Well, I guess if you were really THAT nice, you wouldn’t have won it!

I’m honored to “know” you, as well as you can know someone on a blog or twitter. To this day, RedState, Newsbusters, and The New Ledger are the ony blogs I have accounts with. That is going to change soon but I find my self coming here first every night when I get home. Your inspiration, leadership, and political insight as well as the ones you’ve chosen to be contributors to this site are the reasons.

Well deserved award.my friend.

Hard to think of an original elabration, so I won’t. Just a recognition for your hard work and perseverence.

I’m probably the fiftieth person to say that, but great job, man.

I’m probably the fiftieth person to say that, but great job, man.

You have succeeded in assembling sincere group of conservative activists.

Leon,
Can you share data with us? I am just curious.

You have formed the best hope for Conservatives against the Zombie…err Leftists that we have this days. It’s a hard job to do but it needs to be done.

I’ve known this famous guy for 5 years-met him once in person over a few cold ones…well deserved Mr. Erickson.

PS-he really IS as humble as his edit at the top

Doesn’t matter, we’re still proud to be here and proud to be represented by you!

All the Way!

I know where you are coming from on the feeling guilty part. I think that’s one of the things that raises your stature in the eyes of those judging these types of awards.

and thanks to Mrs. Erick for sharing you with us.

You Mr. Erickson certainly DESERVE that accolade and how AWESOME to beat out Michelle Malkin and Andrew Breitbart, those are some AMAZING people

WE really have some SERIOUS players in the field of Conservative politics! I couldn’t be happier or more proud and you certainly are quite DESERVING of your award. I bet there is a thrilled Erickson family today (If it were my husband I would be touting well SHOUTING it from the rooftops).

There are so many conservative sites – and many are very good – but this site has been instrumental in keeping us informed on the substance of what is going on. Well deserved.

Erick, keep up the good fight.

Thank you, thank you, and thanks to all the little people who got me here

Congrats, Erick. You deserved it

…I knew I was in fast company.

Congratulations on the award. And thanks so much for all the insight and information you pass on to us. I come by multiple times a day to read and learn more about the issues.

Is there a link to a story about the awards that I missed?

Well deserved, Erick. Slowly, surely, you are changing things, which is all any of us could possibly hope for.

Whenever someone asks me about conservative websites, Red State is at the top of the list. Thanks for all you do.

Congrats in every sense of the word!!! Keep this site going!!! It’s what keeps me going!!!

Too cool!

Congratulations.

Well deserved!

Congratulations, Erick!

Way to go Erick, award was MUCH deserved. Thanks for all you do everyday.

honest conservatism, you are richly deserving of this award. You are a leader worth following because you do not compromise your beliefs just to score a win. Cough,CoughNRSC/NRCC/Cough, Cough

It is a privilege to be one among so many activists here who intend to take back our country. With your inspired leadership, it will happen. Thanks for providing this community which is so rich in intelligence, experience in so many areas, and all around good people. God bless and keep you and your family, Erick, and may this be the first of many acknowledgements of an extraordinary success.

Congratulations Erick, on the superb and consistent work you do at RedState.

Please know your tireless dedication and effort has never gone unnoticed since I’ve joined here.

Eric nurtured and cultivated this virtual common-sense sanctuary… this bastion of conservatism… and deserves the highest of accolades for doing so. This place has certainly been of great comfort and instructional benefit to me.

And one other thing… Eric is a helluva nice guy, too.

Thanks for being here for us, Erick.

Congratulations Erick, very much deserved. You and many others here at RS do more than you’ll ever realize.

That’s seems like a very big deal, deserving big congrats.

CONGRATS, Erick!!.

And let me express my appreciation for the work that you do. If it weren’t for what you do, I would be less well informed on many issues.

Sorry I’m late, I been busy with work lately. Again, WAY TO GO!!
