Just A Thought - Why Can't DU End All This Petty Bickering Between HRC & BO Supporters By ......
taking a vote amongst the user registrations on this board. One vote per user - and let the chips fall where they may. It would have to be users as of a 'definite date' - so that people don't sign up to become users just to lodge a vote for their candidate.

Registered Users: total number

HRC: X number

BO: X number

Undecided: X number

One vote and only one vote per user.

I believe that this could be managed by the board - because - I think when there is a poll - one could only vote once.

It would be interesting to see how this would come out.

What do you think? Could it be done? Would this be a good idea or would it hurt DU?

1. What would it prove?
Other than some support BO and some support HC?

How would that end the bickering?

2. That won't help.
A lot of registered DU users are moles.

3. You think one poll will end the divisive bickering?
That's rather naive.

Why Can't DU End All This Petty Bickering Between HRC & BO Supporters By Suppoorting Mike Gravel?

Why support a corporatist shill at all?

4. This is a LEFT leaning Democratic board. People who don't read the candidate platforms
have an erroneous belief that Obama is "more left" simply because he says he opposes the war.

I can tell you how it would come out. Obama would win handily, like Kucinich used to.

The economic moderates/social liberals don't have a prayer. Nor do the centrists, or the Jack Murtha Democratic conservatives.

5. I think there are ALOT of multiple registrations on DU
they get on a thread and tag team together. Or one person uses their other profile to respond affirmatively to a certain theme. DU is so fucked up these days.
