If my street represents the state of Missouri... Then we are really split on who should be president. Almost every household has a McCain or Obama sign in the front yard. It's really interesting to drive through and see the clusters of each candidate support. it's also really nice to know all of my neighbors get along and it isn't divided by party line.

I'm curious if a lot of neighborhoods are like mind. I don't recall seeing such a split like this. I'll try to ride my bike through the street with my Flip camera to document the experience. It's really cool.

There's something very interesting about my six year old son. He is fascinated by
presidential politics. Seriously. He's into this. During the primaries
he would check the delegate numbers to see who was ahead. He's
discussed how he thinks Obama can beat McCain because Obama beat
Clinton. (And he wanted Clinton to win) This week he told me he
wants John McCain to win. Tonight he told me he wants Barack Obama to
win.

I never tell him where I stand and that drives him nuts.

I have spent a lot of time trying to get the word out at SD08. I'm wondering why most people visit the site aren't interested in signing up and sharing their thoughts.

What do you think? Is it intimidating? Are you concerned about the design? What can I do to convince you that this is a cool project?

I spent a few hours at Columbia's Earth Day celebration. In between chasing my kids around, I had a chance to talk to a lot of parents with kids in the Columbia Public School District.
