Regarding DU's "Greatest" page:

[Bicoastal]

Ever notice that, 9 times out of 10, the OP's that make it past five recommendations contain either the smartest observations you'll ever read....or the dumbest?

So THAT explains why my threads never make it on that page...

1. You want on the greatest page - here's the trick

Hillary Clinton is a ________________________________ (fill in your own derogatory comment in the blank).

Then the 50-75 anti-Hillary people will jump all over it like flies to shit just to help get that comment on the greatest page

2. Hmm... that might be a good idea to help let off some steam...

Political Mad Libs! :P

_(Canidate's name)__ is a ___(noun)___ and has __(adjective)__ __(plural noun)__...

3. Let's try it.

"Chris Dodd is a ferret who has lumpy cantaloupes."

Man, that IS fun.

4. Oh hell I'll do one better - I'll put it in GDP and let the bastards squirm

5. The 50-75 anti-Hillary people?

I would have guessed that GD was at least 20-30% anti-Hillary. Do you really think they're that small of a minority?

6. I think there are 2 types of 'anti-Hillary' people

I think the bulk of them are like me - I don't like Hillary, I don't want her as my nominee and I will fight my darndest to get someone else nominated HOWEVER as a democrat I'll support her 110% if she's nominated.

Then there are the rabid Anti-Hillary folks who not only will do everything to badmouth & belittle the woman but will go as far as to suggest that we either vote 3rd party, vote republican OR just not vote if Hillary gets nominated. That's the small group out to make sure all these nasty posts about Hillary gets on the DU homepage - so DU looks like a place willing to vote non-democrat if she happens to get nominated

7. Gotcha. Agreed.

Yep, I'm in the first "I'll hold my nose and vote for her if I hafta" group :P


I'm still baffled at Gore not telling the DraftGore folks "Don't waste your time, I'm not interested" (like he clearly did in 2002). As several have pointed out, he's not a cruel man. So one might conclude he's interested. Or at least "still thinking about it" (and in the meantime, wisely not spending any campaign funds)

But dang Al, time's running out! (Nov 1 is a deadline for filing for several primary ballots)
