With most of the hype surrounding our local elections finally starting to die down (despite some feeling that its got to keep on going), it’s time to finally begin shifting some attention to our nation’s presidential race.

Tune in this afternoon at 12:30 p.m. local time (yeah, still no clock changing yet) over on MySpace’s Election 2008 profile to catch a live webcast of a dialogue with presidential candidate Barack Obama as he speaks at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Don’t think of it as goofing off, think of it as getting better prepared to make a decision about our nation’s next leader. The profile also lets those with MySpace profiles know how they can submit questions and take part in the dialogue.

Of course you can always come back here and let us know what you thought about it as well. Just saying…
