TBF supporters have been busy. We've now grown to include more than 60 participating blogs, and well over 2,000 patriots voted in our online poll for their favorite rising conservative star this week.
Today's rising conservative star is Van Irion. With record levels of TBF participation, Van Irion won handily with 42% of the vote.
Here's a little background information on Mr. Irion:
