If You Were A Presidential Candidate, How Would You Do?
 Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

 

This is definitely an interesting way to get more involved in politics. If you were running for President, how would you do?  It's not too late to join U4Prez.com's social networking election - think the MySpace of politics - which is on their newest version (Web 4.0) - in time for their 2008 race. No, Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Barack Obama, and Ron Paul are not candidates. But you can see how you would rate if you went up against one of them.

This was such an interesting site to stumble upon! You can assign yourself as a Democrat, Republican, or an Independent , and choose a photo and profile just like you would in most cyberworlds, but on U4Prez you get votes based on your likeability as a potential presidential candidate. No kidding!

This brainchild site from IntraLink gets an A++ for originality - and creativity - in our book! Plus you can talk shop with fellow Obamans, Paulites... and whatever the other candidates' supporters are called.

Ever notice that many Obamans and Paulites get along in relatively perfect harmony?

When we were tuning in to last night's Ron Paul campaign announcement yesterday, more than a few Obama supporters showed up, identified themselves, and then blended right into the discussion without prejudice.

Maybe Obamans aren't so bad after all (not that we said they were).  Sorry, I still don't trust Barack - but I do have to say that despite criticisms between the to supporter groups, Obama fans seem to maintain an overall peaceful solidarity yet general willingness to listen to all sides of a story, which is pretty refreshing. When political discussions are poignant yet peaceful - that speaks well for the future of American politics.
