Should they stay or should they go now?

Well, since this is called The Opinion Blog, I'm looking for some opinions, this time on the selection of columnists we use in the newspaper. I don't know if all of you read the print edition, but we try to keep a good rotation of different views, styles and names going, although there are definitely some names that pop up more than others.

It's been a while since we actually asked our readers who they enjoyed reading, so I'm looking for some feedback. Which columnists do you like reading on our opinion pages? Who do you hate?

Below is a list of the regular columnists we have access to (although I probably missed one or two in my compilation), starting with those we use most regularly now and ending with some of those who are a bit more obscure. I tried to attach links to names, so if you're not familiar with a certain writer you can get some feel for his or her work. If you have the time, I'd love some feedback on your preferences. Feel free to leave it in the comments, or you can email me directly, at dgolden@thesunnews.com.

The regulars:

Froma Harrop, Providence Journal
Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post
Michelle Malkin
