Will DU change it's name after Obama is elected?
I have no idea if this has been asked already, I just realized that if Obama wins and there is going to be a huge majority in Congress, will the Democratic Underground still be underground?

What would it be called?

Overground?
Above ground?
Resurrected?

I don't know...what do you think?

1. Changing the URL would be problematic.
I suppose that they could change the page headers and register an additional URL with a different name, but they certainly wouldn't want to abandon democraticunderground.com.

But I don't see it happening and I don't think it should.

2. Oh I hope not
this is the only underground thing I've ever done in my life. I don't even have a basement.

4. Go outside, turn around three times, and spit.
"After"?

You mean "If."

Go.

6. LOL... The rethugs will be even more hateful, once a Dem is in the WH....
So there is no need to change DU's name and DU will still have PLENTY
to discuss about what the WH, the Senate and Congress are doing.

It'll never be Kumbya time! :P Democratic Underground will still be needed.

VOTE !!

8. Likewise, the Dems in power could become complacent.
Hence the "Underground" aspect.

I thought about posting it in the lounge.

That's where ridiculousness is permitted.

My bad. It's been a while.

12. We're not going to be the Democratic Mainstream anytime soon.
This board is largely composed of Democrats who are to the left of almost any potential administration with a chance of getting elected.

We are the Underground within our own party, whether the party is in power or not.

21. Why? We're still underground in the sense that we're not "official."
Plus this is the internets.
