3. It's not surprising that a pole like this would get freeped (vote early & vote often)...
If all these neocons are desperate enough to freep this low level poll -- it shows what shambles the Reps are in..

5. Sorry, but how do you know "Freeps have been at it".
It looks like an average poll to me. I honestly would have answered "a little", and I know for certain that I'm more politically interested than most people.

People really need to see beyond their own realm. It's very valuable to be an advocate within your own community, but, it's wise to see the bigger picture.

6. Ummm, did you read his post?
You know where it links to FR and a post asking Freepers to freep?

7. There used to be a rule about posting links to "the site that shall not be named"
a few years ago, but I took a break from DU for about 2 years, or so

has it changed? because I see people break that rule all the time now.

thanks

12. I think that rule applies to a different site (or sites?)
I've never quite figured out what site(s) could not be spoken of, but I'm pretty sure it's not the freepers...

8. That's WAY more than being freeped
It looks like an honest depiction of how little Americans will watch a 4 day political event. That is to say, not very much.

11. I plan watch more of the Convention than I did of the Olympics
But that will only be Obama's speech.

The rest is just "geeing up" the troops and preaching to the choir. I'm already there.

13. I dunno
I don't plan to watch any of it either, most of it's going to be long-winded blowhardery, and I plan to follow it via news and blogs. Besides, I wouldn't want to risk watching the PUMAs try to eviscerate the Dem party live.

14. Could be legit.
Both candidates are locked up so the nominating exercise is just that.

Most people probably just tune in for the hour or so given over to the candidate and skim the rest of the coverage through other mediums.
