Voter registration deadlines are upon us. You can help spread the word by signing up to Register 8 in ’08 --that means registering eight people you know so they can vote in 2008.

The other night, as the first and only vice presidential debate was starting; I was scrambling to get to my car from a rainy soccer field where I'd been standing on the sidelines with other parents while watching kids play. Jumping over mud puddles and dodging fast moving vehicles in the parking lot, my two soccer-playing kids and I scurried to the warm dry safety of our car.
