10. Funny you ask!  Friday was my last day of work at the only place I ever worked after college (I was a senior software engineer there, worked there for 8 years and 1 day).  I've managed to sock away some money and plan on spending the next year or so traveling and pursuing non-work interests.

9.Master's in psychology.

10. I've been many things. When I needed to work from home to simultaneously care for my invalid husband, I started writing freelance. That was a crappy line of work with long hours of looking for jobs, followed by assignments that traded on my experience and reputation to tout truly stupid concepts; I began thinking of myself as a prostitute of the brain. So I wrote a book that was accepted for publication, but the publisher went bankrupt before I was paid. I needed money. So I taught myself to proofread and eventually had a couple of clients, and we became solvent. I've been a freelance copyeditor and proofreader for more than 20 years now. I love the work and hate paying double FICA taxes, buying my own health insurance, and all the other financial problems of self-employment.

1.  White - 3rd generation American (Ukrainian, Greek, and Irish)

2. Female

3.  Hetero

4.  Married - 7 years.  He's white, but a foreigner ... Canadian.

5.  Kind of raised Ukrainian Catholic (not Orthodox), but now more Unitarian/Buddhist.

6.  One child who will be four in July.  We adopted him from China on August 29, 2005.  He was born in Changzhou (or so we think).

7. Started with Edwards because I knew Feingold wasn't going to run.  I've signed on with Obama now.

8.  I'm a Democrat from the crib, but I'll vote Green with the right candidate.

9.  I have a B.A in French from Alma College, an M.A. in Humanities from Central Michigan, and I am currently tinkering with an M.A. in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment.

Male

Hetero

Married once and still.

Raised mostly Baptist but it never really took.  Now an eclectic humanist.  I find deep wisdom in buddhism, taoism, and zen as I understand them.  I also find deep wisdom in the message of Jesus of Nazareth as I understand it, and in the message of Mohammed as I understand it.  I don't think I could ever belong to any church, but if I did I would probably be closest to Unitarian-Universalist.

Two sons, one currently property of the US Navy, another just ended his sophomore year in HS.

My head waited for Gore long after my heart had chosen Edwards.  When he dropped out I was equally lukewarm about Obama and Hillary, more for the historic implications of their candidacies than anything in particular about their persons or their positions.  Everything I have seen since at least Nevada has made me think more of Obama and less of Hillary, but I really would rather have Edwards even now. Not because of his race or his gender, but because he and Elizabeth spoke most directly to the issues that I care most about.

Democrat, small d and big D, but not slavishly so.

BBA in Mgmt.

Systems analyst at an electric utility.  Previously electrician, cab driver, professional student.  Would still be a professional student if I could figure out how to make a living at it.

The blurker formerly known as ignorant bystander.

1.5. Age- because I think it is important as well - 43

2. Male

3. Hetro, though I would have to say that close to half my friends are LGBT, so gay marriage is an important topic to me.

4. Single, but not really. We're coming up on our 10th anniversary, which is a better record than most marriages. We'll get married if kids come into the picture.

5. Raised in the American Lutheran Church/ELCA. Still consider myself a lutheran, but don't attend much anymore.

6. No children that I know of, though I have lots of childish friends.

7. Edwards was the best choice that actually had a shot. Obama over Clinton and McCain. I like a lot of what the Clinton's did, but they are worse than republicans when it comes to farm policy and being in bed with monsanto.

8. Always used to vote for the best candidate, or for third party. I don't want any party to have the majority for too long. Wouldn't it be great if the big two had to negotiate on their policies with greens or libertarians to get the majority? Now, I simply want the republicans out of power, and have sworn off voting for a republican ever again, because of the systemic corruption of their party since Gingrich.

9. Working on my Bachelor's now. It's much more fun going back as an adult than it was the first time through.

10. Contract programmer for 25 years. retired now. Going to go into some ecological field, part-time, after school. Worked construction my first time through college, with a couple old retired contractors that "flipped houses" before it was called flipping.

10. Various construction jobs, truck driver, forklift operator, warehouse supervisor (not in this order). Currently working as the director of technology for a software company.

Generic anglo. My mother traced our ancestry back to at least 1840 and the only immigrant she could find was a German. We think he was German. He jumped ship and changed his name, so I'm afraid we don't know anything more about him than what he think his name was before (and what it changed to afterward).

Male.

Hetero

Married only once, for 26 years. It's her second time around, and I inherited three kids.

Christian, although in general I don't care to discuss it much further than that on the tubes. I will say that I believe truth is where you find it, and I accept certain teachings from non-Christian traditions as valid. If I weren't Christian I would probably be a Taoist or Buddhist or something.

Three kids from my wife's previous marriage. I adopted them when they were small (the oldest was 7) and they've never really known any other father. Five grandkids, several of mixed race (some are part Thai, and the oldest has a white mother and a black father -- just like Barack Obama!).

I used to have a sig that said "I've made up my mind! I'm voting for Feingold Gore Edwards Obama!" There is much truth to that.

I tend to vote Democratic and if we had strict party registration here in Washington I would register as a Democrat. However I have voted for Republicans in the past if I feel they are the best person for the job. For instance (skip to the next if you've heard this before) I voted for Republican Sam Reed for Secretary of State here in Washington in 2004. My confidence in him was vindicated when he refused to bow to party pressure and give up counting votes in the governor's race so Dino Rossi would be governor, and instead followed state law on two sets of recounts. Rossi ended up losing by less than 150 votes statewide to then-Attorney General Christine Gregiore.

I have a networking technology certificate from North Seattle Community College. Basically that got me my first real high tech job, doing tech support for Windows 95. Since then I've gotten jobs on the basis of my expertise rather than what slips of paper were hanging on my wall.

Since that first job I've worked for a variety of high-tech companies, mostly supervising automated software generation systems (compilers and the like) and writing computer code that automates those systems. Currently I work for a high-tech company in Seattle's eastern suburbs. I decline to state which company so that my opinions can in no way be considered to reflect those of my current employer.

5. Born into a Lutheran congregation, last affiliated with United Methodist. Wife got the church in the divorce. I have read a number of John Dominic Crossan books and am a big fan of the man Jesus Christ, who I see as the Jesus of Woody Guthrie's song. Am also a big fan of science. I don't believe in magic, which makes me an agnostic/atheist leaner.

7. Reached Obama through Kucinich and Edwards, with a nod to Dodd along the way. Kucinich and I would have done well on PoliticalMatch.com, I liked the way that Edwards talked all working class to me, but ultimately Obama was my candidate. I am so far to the left that I always expect any politician to disappoint me, but I can differentiate between Dem and Rep.

8. I was the only Dem in a family of Republicans. Most recently was called a "red" by my mom over the breakfast table for suggesting that rich people pay the same tax rate on social security as the rest of us.

9. BA in English, which made me the go-to guy to ask how to spell something in most of my blue-collar jobs.

10. As a kid I did farmwork in summers. Some cashier work in high school. Was "drafted" (#1 in Nixon's lottery, so I "volunteered for the draft" after avoiding it for years) and trained as a truck driver until they discovered I could type, ended up being a race relations specialist and ran seminars on the subject. Clerk at a VA hospital. Then letter carrier. Shop steward or union officer most of my time in the USPS. Am a songwriter, sold one song, made some money on that. They dumped the lyrics about a factory closing and made it into a lovesong. Another song was sung on picket lines and at labor get-togethers for a couple years. I retired from the post office under the old civil service retirement system because I'd developed repetitive stress of my hands and they had me sitting at a desk eight hours a day waiting for the phone to ring. It was in a building with a donut shop next door. I got out before the apple fritters killed me.

Straight-ticket-Dem-voting Independent from a Republican family. Registered Dem first time ever in order to vote for Obama in this primary.

I supported Kucinich at the beginning, but not seriously, only to promote his policy positions, which I agreed with down the line - I didn't have any confidence in him personally as a politician or a leader. I then supported Edwards until he dropped out, primarily for his economic stands, but again, had strong reservations about his political instincts and leadership abilities. I was then undecided between Obama and Clinton. I saw them both as DLC-ish, more right than I liked, but thought HRC might be a better bet to win because of her ruthlessness and skill as a politician. It was her campaign's underhanded use of racism coupled with the cynical distractor of accusations of sexism that drove me away. The costs involved in that level of political ruthlessness are not worth the gains that can be made, IMO. So I became an Obama supporter by default. But the more I looked at what he was doing the more I realized I'd misjudged both his political philosophy (liberal with aspects of libertarianism) and his political style (as George Will put it, tempered steel in a sleek suit).
