The Votes Are In

For the upcoming NCAA Bracket-style tournament, we put two dozen reader suggested themes up for a vote. And now, we can announce the winner. First, though, the other possibilities that finished in the Top 10:

10. Best American city in which to live
11. "Profiles in Courage" in American history
12. Most important laws passed by Congress
13. The most important issues of the 2024 presidential cycle
14. Best political comedy of all time
15. Most important women in U.S. history
16. Historical figures who deserve broader recognition
17. Most important events in U.S. history
18. Best solutions to issues facing the United States today

And the runaway winner: Worst political blunders of all time.

It is true that "worst" is a negative word, and we hoped to go positive this year. However, we think that focusing on blunders is basically lighthearted, and so clears the bar.

Now, we need help building the bracket. If you have one or more blunders that should be considered, in your view, please send 'em along! (Z)
