Weber County Forum Kicks Off the 2010 General Election Season

Just to get the conversation going this morning we'll ask our readers: Who are YOUR pre-convention favorites... and your LEAST favorites?

Please take note that we've added a new module to our right sidebar, entitled "2010 General Election," to which we've already added two links. We'll let the addition of this module serve as our Official Kickoff for the 2010 Election Season. The first of these is a full pre-convention list of all candidates who have declared their candidacies for all Weber County races this year:

• 2010 Candidate Roster

With county nominating conventions coming up this weekend,and state conventions happening in May, some of the listed candidacies will inevitably be culled out; and in that connection we'll of course continue to update this list.

The second link takes you to Weber County Clerk/Auditor Alan McEwan's most-excellent Elections Page, which provides a vast array of useful information about everything from voter registration to voter precinct maps:

• Weber County Election Information

As is our normal practice here at Weber County Forum with election modules of this kind, we'll continue to add links to the sidebar. And if history is any guide, we'll expect to be compiling the most robust elections information source in the Weber County Webosphere, as we move more deeply into the 2010 election cycle.

In the meantime however, we're setting up this module a little bit earlier than usual, in the hope that those of you who serve as your parties' county convention delegates might be able to benefit from the information linked therein. If you'll be attending your party's convention this weekend, be sure to check it out.

Before closing, we'll also invite any candidates (or friends of candidates) whose online links may have been omitted from our Candidate Roster to submit them to us via our email contact link at the top of the right sidebar. We don't want to leave anybody's info out.

That's it for now, gentle readers.

Check out the data currently in our sidebar, and be sure to check back after this weekend's conventions.
