Dave,

I agree that the survey is ridiculous; however, at the same time this  
type of thing is purely defensive --- look at the things that were  
dragged out about both Obama and Palin during this election.  Oppo  
research is cruel, and people blog a lot of things that are purely  
intemperate; at the same time, we don't have a "forgive me, I was  
young and really stupid at the time" tag.

Blogging, combined with our tendency towards confessional culture, is  
going to really lead to an interesting problem when millenials start  
running for office.  If there are archives of everyone's livejournal  
posts when they were moody gothlets, you don't think those'll be  
pulled out and exposed.  Sarah Palin apparently realized this enough  
to use multiple email accounts.
