Dave Barry: Election '08

Chat live with Dave Barry!

Hosted by: Dave Barry

Dave Barry is running for President of the United States -- but because he is a trained journalism professional, he is also sporadically covering the other, lesser candidates. On Jan. 8, 29 and on future dates that he can't disclose just yet, he'll be chatting live from 1-2 p.m. here. That's right, he'll actually be sitting behind a computer at the very same time as you, the reader, send him questions and comments. Please keep in mind that while Dave will answer as many questions as he can, he will laugh at most of them and delete them. That said, Dave may actually answer a question, and it could be yours.
