As Stephen is off on his hols, I’ve offered to collate the 77th of our weekly round-ups (27th July – 2nd August) of the seven most popular click-throughs from LibDemBlogs, plus another five that you might have missed.

Let’s get straight down to it, in traditional descending order:

1. Comment is Bonkers on James Graham’s blog.
James comparing his Comment is Free piece with a piece from Lord Bonkers.

2. Bedfordshire’s sexiest politician? on Peter Welch’s blog.
Will Susan Gaszczak win the poll?

3. What has Nick Clegg done for us? on Paul Walter’s blog.
Turns out it wasn’t the aqueduct, sanitation or the roads!

4. What message should we send, Mr Oakley? on Sara Bedford’s blog.
Sara thumbs her way through old copies of the Watford Observer to find a statement from Mr Oakley about people committing crimes, and what sort of punishments he expects they should get.

5. David Cameron was warned about Watford Tories on Jonathan Calder’s blog.
Although lifted straight from Alex Folkes.

6. LDV members’ survey, August 2008 (1): the Lib Dems and by-elections on LibDemVoice.
Stephen makes his way through the responses to the first LDV members’ survey. You can see the other four parts here.

7. James Graham on Nick Clegg’s leadership on Jonathan Calder’s blog.
Jonathan having the motivation to make it in to the top 7 twice this week.

And now to the five slots we reserve under the category ‘well worth reading even if they didn’t get the most clicks this week’.

8. Online fundraising and geekery in political campaigns. In KANSAS? on Mat Bowles’ blog.
Mat notes how an election in Kansas is getting large media coverage due to the comical way one of the candidates has set about doing fundraising.

9. Political Parties paying bloggers to comment on Jo Christie-Smith’s blog.
Jo just thinks it isn’t so 2.0

10. Bringing on the clones on Peter Black’s blog.
Peter, not looking forward to the forthcoming animated Star Wars film, but the security of those wonderful biometric passports.

11. She’s got my vote on Gavin Whenman’s blog.
If Gavin could vote in November’s Presidential Election, he would be voting Hilton.

12. Vote Saxon! on Nick Barlow’s blog.
Nick finds a poll on the Herts and Essex Observer which shows that Mr Browns popularity isn’t that high (note, poll may disappear in the near future).

I’m doing it again next week, so drop me a line at for any suggestions and don’t forget to file your nominations for the 2008 Lib Dem Blog of the Year awards.
