Techcrunch goes political with the US election, Michael Arrington explains:

“TechCrunch wants to provide a voice for digital policy and technology issues in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, and so we’ve decided to hold our own political primaries online. Voting will be open from Tuesday, December 18 through midnight pst Friday, January 18. TechCrunch will endorse one candidate from each the Democratic and Republican party as the “Tech President” candidate based on the popular results of reader voting and blog input from our community of technology leaders and entrepreneurs.”
