…in assembling the Third Annual MVP List. This list honors those Delawareans who were (M)ost (V)aluable to the (P)rogressive cause in Delaware in 2011.

In the past, I have generally limited this list to public officials. However, I am open to suggestions from outside the realm of elective public service.

These annual MVP lists have generated a lot of controversy, due both to some of my inclusions and some of my omissions.

At the end of the day, it’s my list, and only my list. (Hey, I’m a listaholic.) However, your input last year impacted both who made the list and the ultimate order of the selections. And, if you ultimately don’t like my list, you can post your own list over here.

Here are the previous lists, with attendant bouquets and  beaucoups brickbats:

See how much fun this can be? Here are three things to keep in mind with your submissions:  (A) Please explain why your suggestions deserve consideration; (B) These are not lifetime achievement awards, so explain why they deserve consideration for this year’s list; and (C) As you can see from the preceding lists, you don’t have to be a progressive to be included on the MVP list. Virtually no one argued with my selection of Christine O’Donnell as my #1 choice last year, although several disagreed with my inclusion of Tony DeLuca in 2009.

OK, kids, the clock starts NOW, and runs until December 1, when I will put my list together.
