By the way Hillary finally chose her first guest blogger:

Mrs. Hillary Clinton, I will be a first time voter in the 2008 elections! It is 6:50am on Sunday, 21 January 2007. As I sit in the quiet of the morning, I think about what I would like to focus my attention on today and it just so happens that I am on the internet finding your face and your quote, “I’m In, and I am In to Win” pronounced on the front page as I click to open my internet world. Kelly G/First Time Voter
