Question, neverdem.

What's the procedure for getting a post, like this one, highlighted in the “Editorial” column on the right side of the page?

I've scooped big news stories many times at Free Republic, and I've had several dozen posts that generated more than a hundred comments.

But I've never had a post highlighted in the right side columns.

Actually all you have to do is check the appropriate box in the 'Highlights' section of the topic screen when you are posting, and it winds up there. The Sidebar Moderator decides whether it is worthy of staying where you posted it.
