User account

Hi, and thanks for supporting Barack Obama for President! Registration is only required if you want to post to this site (blogs, comments, stories, etc.) If you just want to read or lurk, it's not necessary. But if you do register, choose a username that looks like a name and not something random. There are lots of spambots out there creating bogus users in websites like this. Make things easy on both of us and user your real name, an intelligle nickname, or such. Thanks!
