I try not to mix politics outside of my family

I have learned over the years of posting on various message boards, chat rooms, and websites/blogs of mine that sometimes it is best to stay out of the political ring. I find that normally you cannot change someone’s opinion by a few posts but you certainly can hurt some feelings and piss people off. So normally I stay silent and just read what others write.

That said it seemed the message boards and blogs were in the full swing of the Presidential election this year with Obama accepting the nomination last night and McCain naming a female as his running mate. I am not familiar at all with McCain’s choice so I did what most people did today - started googling and reading. In the process I ended up at McCain’s website and noticed a link for blogs/bloggers which is kinda funny because just a few elections ago no one cared about blogs as much as they do now apparently. I am getting off track and I apologize.

My point is that on the McCain site (and I’m sure Obama has this too) when you click on blogs there is a long list of blogs - liberal, conservative, moderate, etc. From there McCain is encouraging you to go comment on these blogs about your support for him and then come back to his site and leave a comment and a link about your comment. So what does this mean? Fellow Bloggers it means a great way to drive traffic to your site in the form of link backs in the comment section of each of these blogs. If any happen to be do-follow blogs that will help with your page rank. So, if you are into the whole Presidential election and speaking your mind go visit McCain’s site and start visiting the blogs he has listed and leaving comments both on his site and the site you are visiting.
