If the winner of the "Best Law Blog" poll has to buy a consolation round for the runner-up bloggers, it looks like the answer is "yes." Meanwhile, my favorite comment about this poll comes from Brian Leiter:

[I]t's a pretty silly affair. Even though the Volokh bloggers have been begging their readers (of whom, based on their site counter, there must be 20,000+ per day) to vote almost every day for the last week, they are still trailing David Lat's gossip blog, Above the Law, and have mustered only about 4,000 votes (and bear in mind you can vote once every day!). But, really, who cares?

Indeed.
