Summary

Today, Jim and Greg begin handing out their prestigious annual 3 Martini Lunch Awards! Starting today and running through New Year's Day, they reveal their choices in categories ranging from rising star to best and worst political ideas to the stories the media ignored and the ones they could not stop talking about. And it all builds up to next week when Jim and Greg reveal their Person of the Year and Turncoat of the Year, plus their predictions for 2025.

In this first installment, they offer their individual selections for Most Overrated Political Figure, Most Underrated Political Figure, and Most Honest Political Figure. Jim picks a prominent figure in this year's presidential campaign, while Greg selects someone whose reputation for winning took one on the chin this year.

When it comes to underrated political figures, they agree on their top choice, but Greg also highlights a prominent political leader who doesn't often attract a lot of headlines...and that's a good thing. However, last week's drama has Greg already regretting this choice. 

Finally, Jim's choice for the most honest political figure is a famous Democrat who was ignored by the party this year, while Greg picks a very different person the Democrats should have listened to but didn't - to their own peril.

Don't miss Tuesday's special edition, when Jim and Greg list the political figures they were sorry to see pass away in 2024. They'll also name their rising stars over the past year and people who seem to be fading into political oblivion.
