Reader Demographics: Obama & McCain, Spiritual Weakness, Blogs

While there is no typical Apostolic, there are always similarities. Here's the latest snapshot of 90&9 readers, and while we may not be the typical media stereotype, we are certainly indicative of the often unseen present but probable future of the movement.
