I contributed to Obama as well. Twice. And, I'm far from being a corporation. My efforts were definitely "trickle up."

Thank you thank you thank you. We had to change servers, and suddenly everything I had used for contact forms previously was shot to h. Your form works beautifully, except I needed to change the stylesheet so that the name/text area lined up in IE (it was fine in Firefox). I simply changed the .contactright to float left. I also had to change the textarea sizes to fit my blog, but that was simple. Works like a dream!

Hi Teun - the following styles are from Doug's "wp-contactform" within the wp-contact folder. I changed just two things, I think (I can't remember what they were!) and I added a style for the submit button. Doug - I had to change the px to ems, sorry!

The styles are applied at the beginning of this same wp-contactform page, where you'll see a few lines that contain lengths for the textareas. This is where you can add the style to the submit button. (I hope all this makes sense). I haven't tested the following style changes across all browsers and all resolutions, but it seems fine in both Firefox and in IE. If you test it and find a quirk, please let me know:

/* Begin Contact Form CSS */
.contactform {
position: static;
overflow: hidden;
}
.contactleft {
width: 25%;
text-align: right;
clear: both;
float: left;
display: inline;
padding: .4em;
margin: .5em 0;
}
.contactright {
width: 70%;
text-align: left;
float: left;
display: inline;
padding: .4em;
margin: .5em 0;
}
.contacterror {
border: .1em solid #ff0000;
}
.contactsubmit {
text-align:center;
}
/* End Contact Form CSS */

Unfortunately, Amtrak in America isn't all it's cut out to be. Many times I've book Amtrak expecting a train and I was put on a bus. In addition, the busses sometimes aren't as nice as Greyhound. If you haven't been on a Greyhound, then go Greyhound instead of Amtrak.

Shame, as Amtrak could be a viable alternative mode of transportation in the U.S.
