Join the new world

I forgot to include these in my first article on voting.

Vote for Speaker of the House
Vote: Serendipitous
Result: Seredipitous
Rationale: As a freshman Congressman it’s somewhat difficult to cast a vote for who should lead certain things, such as Speaker or Committee Chairs. However, within a handful of hours of the start of the new session (which was on Thanksgiving no less) I already had several mails from Seredipitous on things that need to be dealt with immediately, links to threads that I needed to be up to speed with, and just a basic overview of what needed to be done to transition smoothly to the new session. This initiative made the decision fairly simple for me, as this gave me an impression of who would stay on track and handle things in a timely manner.
