I thought this was pretty cool:
WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama on Thursday defended his choice of a popular evangelical minister to deliver the invocation at his inauguration, rejecting criticism that it slights gays.

Well, not gays getting angry thing… Apparently they’re pretty upset that Pastor Rick Warren promoted the Yes on 8 deal (which, by the way, passed). I think it’s kind of silly - all the anger that is stirred up by both sides of this issue - whatever you believe. If 8 had lost all the ‘Christians’ would be just as mad - so I don’t blame those who are angry - I just want to say that it’s time for everyone start being kinder. That’s all.

This election was pretty interesting, especially in the use of social media/web 2.0. I think one of the coolest things about what has happened over the past few years is the web has brought us closer to the action - inviting us to participate more. Some would argue that social media has caused us to be isolated behind a 15 inch screen, I disagree. Not being a big political person - I’ve been drawn into the discussion and actually look forward to conversing and learning more and more - because I’ve been invited to be a part of the discussion; I almost feel like I’ve been given a ‘behind the scenes’ pass to what’s happened over the past few months.

I don’t have a lot of time to blog right now, but I can’t let this day go by without a quick post. We actually got in front of a TV last night to witness this historical election. Amazing speeches by both McCain and Obama. Lot’s of talk of working together to bring about the changes we need to make to make this a better country today and tomorrow. I feel like there’s a buzz of hope for our nation today, at least in my circles.

I gotta be honest, I don’t do enough poitical homework. I mean I’ve watched bits of the debates, but honestly, these guys aren’t really answering the questions, and I imagine they won’t be able to pull of a quarter of what they’re promising. So I’m looking for other forms of input to help me decide.
So I went here, and according to my answers to their questions, I should vote for Obama. So, there we go. Maybe if you’re like me you should go there to, take the test, then come back here and leave your results.
And by the way, you can register and update your party, info, whatever, here.
Who are you voting for and why?
