I agree, Casey! Birdie was one of twenty bloggers nationwide that NPR chose. And she has been a long-time Gather member. We are fortunate to have her p.o.v. from D.C.

I would like to ask that we keep this discussion PG and not let it spiral downward. I know we have members who are polar opposites in terms of their political views, but I think we can respect each other's opinions in a civil and respectful way.

Hi Colonel George W.,
We have been in touch with all of the candidates and are trying hard to bring them all to the site. The candidate groups listed above represent those campaign groups launched by their official organizations. Others are still working on their groups and we will announce them as soon as they are live. In the meantime, please share the link to the Ron Paul group you are referencing and better yet let the campaign know that you would like to see more from him on Gather!

Please welcome Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas to Gather. He will be joining the conversation at several times during the day on Monday and Tuesday to respond to your questions and engage in the dialog. So please post questions that you have for the Governor, and he will answer them as time (and his busy schedule!) permit.

Thank you!

That's what leaders-elect are, the people who won their respective elections. They use -elect (as in President-elect, governor-elect) after the candidate wins the election, but before they are inaugurated. That's to distinguish them from the currently serving official who is retiring or who was defeated, but their term is not quite up yet. So just find a list of all the winners from this year's election, those are your leaders-elect.
