<em>2008&#8217;s winner for Best Politician, Sen. Charlie Justice</em></p>
<p>Times flies when you&#8217;re struggling to make ends meet, but it is rapidly approaching that time in each summer when a Tampa Bayite&#8217;s thoughts turn to … <a href="http://tampahappenings.creativeloafing.com/gbase/BestOf/BestOfAwards?Section=oid%3A287491">Best of the Bay</a>!!</p>
<p>This year, as we expand and make voting for the best goods, services, places, people, restaurants, bars, strip clubs, etc. more fun and interactive, we&#8217;re going to start by asking you: What categories in People, Places and Politics (the equivalent of our <a href="http://www.cltampa.com/news">News &amp; Politics</a> section, my personal bailiwick as your Political Whore) would you like to see in the balloting?</p>
<p>Here are a few of the classics and new CL staff ideas we hope to feature this year (after the jump):</p>
<p><span id="more-6768"></span></p>
<p>Best Local Columnist<br />
Best Local Hero<br />
Best Local Politician<br />
Best Local Sports Team<br />
Best Local Troublemaker<br />
Best Local TV Newsperson<br />
Worst Local Politician<br />
Worst Sports Coach<br />
Best Beach<br />
Best Building<br />
Best Neighborhood, Hillsborough<br />
Best Neighborhood, Pinellas</p>
<p>We’re finalizing the categories next Tuesday, so <strong>the deadline to add suggestions in the Comments section below</strong> is Mon., June 8 at 5 p.m.</p>
<p>And a reminder: we&#8217;re <em>not</em> looking  for who you think should win, just the category itself. Now get to work.</p>
