Strib blog - the big question

Another interactive, Web based application that people can use to participate in the election is a blog on the Star Tribune Web site called 'The Big Question.' On this blog, people can debate the virtues of the candidates and the issues at stake. For example, the blog posts from early October include an interesting exchange about the McCain camp and assertions about Obama's connection to terrorists. The blog is a good way to allow for public involvement, but runs the risk of being dominated by a few regular bloggers. The comment sections are full; however, so it seems to allow for a fair amount of discourse.
