Warning -- more politics

Ok. I feel like my last foray into politics on this site generate more controversy than it was worth, so I am going to try a less direct approach here.

I have been genuinely excited about Howard Dean's candidacy for President, and I have added a little Howard Dean for President icon on the left. He is our former governor, and an excellent politician. He often appeared on VPR's Switchboard program (a VT call in talk show) when he was governor, and he seems like a decent egg. While I have been pretty cynical about electoral politics for a long time, he is the first candidate to get me enthused about participating in the political process. In fact, if you hit the "Help out" link, you will also see that I have signed up to help him raise money. Since we don't have much of our own dough to give (although we have given a little -- every bit counts), I figured this was the least I could do. His campaign has made extensive use of the internet, and making it easy for people to make their own little pages like I have done is just one example of how on the ball this guy seems to be, at least internet-wise.

Well, I won't go into anymore about Howard, but, if you are interested, the link to his site on the left will give you more info than you can shake a stick at.
