I didnt vote either, but if you asked me why people would vote for RB I'd say there are two things in his posts that would warrant it. One is tone - RB is about as far from hysterical as can be, and there's nothing bitter or personal to his stuff. The second is style - agree or disagree, when you read his stuff the impression you get is that he isn't reflexive but rather has thought stuff through. Put it together and presto! You get best presenter.

This is just my own personal impression. I speak for no one else.
