The Ticker: Webby, Idol, #1…

By SteveK 

> CNBC.com scored a couple of 2008 Webby nods, for a blog by John Harwood and a site dedicated to Warren Buffett. The Harwood blog was nominated in the Best Political Blog category, while “Warren Buffett Watch” drew on those Berkshire Hathaway groupies and was nominated in the Celebrity/Fan category.

> You know when people say that more people vote for American Idol than in the presidential election? Well, if you can’t beat ’em… The three remaining presidential candidates take a break from their cable and network news appearances and head to “Idol Gives Back” tonight at 7:30pm on FOX.

> Is CNN #1 in ’08? Portfolio’s Jeff Bercovici explains the semi-accurate CNN ad in today’s New York Post, New York Times and Wall St. Journal: “That’s true, of course…unless you interpret ‘most watched’ as ‘watched by the most people’ — presumably the way most Times/Post/Journal readers would see it.”
