because some other webloggers don't like her
and her blog is middle-of-the-road-hedgemony-status-quo type stuff that represents the weblog nation without saying anything too loudly. just the kind of thing the guardian will (have to) choose

I think it's quite likely that sashinka will win the Guardian prize - and good luck to her. In my personal opinion, the one thing her site really lacks is legible links - the white on green is completely incomprehensible to me and makes it very difficult for me to read her site for any period of time.
The only other comment I'd make about her site is that it's a bit non-threatening to print people - I don't know really if I'm talking out of my arse here or not, but sometimes - although the content is of extraordinarily high quality - I'm not sure I buy the voice she uses. It could be that she's been writing too long professionally, but her voice sounds rather columnar and less like the informal style of conversational posting that other webloggers have gradually relaxed into...
All I can say is that I'm glad that I'm not involved in the whole competition, frankly - both because I'm not sure I'd like this level of scrutiny and because I'd be uncomfortable competing with some of the great weblogs and webloggers that I read every day...

permalinks rock! Someone should write a song about permalinks!
I know where its at
Permalinks are where its at
I know where its at
Permalinks are where its at
If you want to get to my in my good books
You better permalink me or I'll give you dirty looks
And if you want to just link me with a via
Then I'll cuss you down, and your site will expire
I know where its at
Permalinks are where its at
I know where its at
Permalinks are where its at
And if you think that I am talking shitty
Then you better re-read this little ditty
Coz my site is hard as nails but you dont know it
Coz youre full of crap, so why dont you go blow it!
I know where its at
Permalinks are where its at.... etc
Or perhaps not
