HRC would still be in negative numbers (steps) in the fun run if not for powerups

1. Howzabout an "I couldn't care less, this is great fun" option?

It's a very intentional--and fun, chain-yanker, people.

I happen to love every minute of it.

3. I don't have any cash, so it is not as much fun

But I am happy that it is successful and that DU'ers are enjoying it.

Peace and low stress.

2. That isn't an opinion, it is simple math

:hi:

4. Simple, as in you could crunch those numbers in no time?

I couldn't even begin to think about putting the data together, but I am not that smart.

6. It wouldn't be hard to key the hourlies into a spreadsheet

but Elad can probably extract the votes entered based on the donations without regard to the power plays.

Scroll down and you can see where she jumped:

Monday, 2:49 PM ET
mike_c activates SABOTAGE powerup.
Standings after powerup: Clinton 1690, Kucinich 1035, Richardson 252, Biden 242, Obama 236, Dodd 181, Gravel 98, Edwards -207
Standings before powerup: Edwards 1690, Kucinich 1035, Richardson 252, Biden 242, Obama 236, Dodd 181, Gravel 98, Clinton -207

5. Because the Kucnich group has more money and the Obama group

has all the hate what did you expect. I wouldn't give two cents to this piece of crap. I will wait til it is over and donate.

7. "the Kucnich group has more money"

The rich bitch set?

:wow:

*sigh*

9. You're sooo much fun.

10. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..

there, there.

11. Well, 100 contributions of $5 really is more than 6 contributions of $50

It's clear that (1) fewer folks have the ability to donate $50 than those able to donate $5, (2) Clinton seems to attract the support of fewer DUers than Kucinich or Edwards, (3) the affluent folks seem to regard Clinton as more tolerable than the less affluent.

But that's just basic math. :shrug:

12. Bwahahahahahahaha! Give that DUer a DUzy, except--

I'm pretty sure Bitwit wasn't trying to be funny, I think s/he really believes that.

look, I've no0 dog in this fight, but I recognize delusion when I see it... :eyes:

8. I've been following this, and it is absolutely true....

She was at -200 steps when I activated the Sabotage powerup and switched her with Edwards-- a move designed to protect Kucinich, BTW, who had already been the target of two prior dirty tricks. That moved Sen. Clinton from -200 to 1600+. From there her position has steadily eroded to about 600 steps (estimating from memory), in other words, a continuous net loss of ground. Her only net forward movement was the result of the Sabotage powerup.
