We’ve had a rather boring button located over on the far right corner of the page for the better part of a month trying to get folks to submit questions for the mayoral candidates using this form. So we figured we’d debut our really cool Election ’07 logo. 
(NOTE: When our site launches later this evening, this button will go live, as will the button we have for the sidebar.)
UPDATE: Hear their answers to your questions NOW on our Election ’07 site!
We also wanted to say thanks to all who’ve taken the time to submit their questions.
Now we’ve also mentioned our partnership with Catalyst in sharing our questions for the candidates forum scheduled for September 18. Well, we’re making one more plea for questions before we retire the page (and so that they’ll have some more questions for their forum). (You really want to read what’s after the jump)

We know we promised election coverage beginning today. Unfortunately the little elves that live inside the computers over here don’t seem to want to cooperate to allow us to do that for you, so we’re going to delay rolling out the section by one more day. Sorry about that. We’d promise an incredibly super high-tech site tomorrow, but we hope you’d know us better than that by now 🙂

WBHM poses a version of this question to listeners this evening and hopes that many will take part in a question and answer session beginning at 6:30 p.m. Last week our local Alabama Public Radio station put together an excellent series taking a closer look at the region’s Urban Divide, just in time for consideration during our fall elections. If you have not had the opportunity to check out this series yet, take a look at the links that follow the read more link and then tune in this evening (or listen online) while a great panel sits to discuss where we are and what’s next.
