The Last 72 Hours (Or So): ALL U.S. Election-Related Posting Here Please
A request from your friendly neighborhood FYM mod...
As the election in the U.S. draws tantalizingly near, I expect a great many more threads here in FYM discussing the topic. For this reason, I would like to condense ALL the election-related posts (polling, individual voting experiences, ballot-counting, news and views on candidates, international reaction... etc. etc.) into THIS THREAD ONLY.
This will keep FYM uncluttered and will allow those folks looking for election musings to do some one-stop shopping. This thread will stay stuck until maybe a day or two after Election Day so everyone has a chance to post reactions about results.
Please also keep in mind that the new forum policy calls for large threads to be closed after 500-600 posts, although if we can keep this thread free of pictures (sorry, U2democrat) or large blocks of text from other sources, we can probably let it go a little longer, as I anticipate bazillions of replies.
If you have information that directly pertains to a thread that's already going (e.g. new John Edwards pics, some thoughts on terrorism threats just before the election), you may post them in the existing thread. Otherwise, please post them here.
I know I speak for all the mods when I add that I am, by and large, totally impressed by the class that has been shown by both sides of the debate in FYM in the past months. Although we've had a few heated moments, we closed far fewer threads than I think we would have expected, and some touchy issues have been handled with aplomb. We really appreciate everyone's cool-headedness and smarts.
That said, let's get to it!
PA polls have Bush and Kerry in a dead heat...STILL!!!
