Who's going to make a donation for Elizabeth Edwards so she gets a star?

[AP]

Or shouldn't Skinner just give her one?

1. Is she actually here on DU?

Or is it just somebody using her name?

4. asked that same question in the administrator's forum.

I believe it is, but I think it is incumbant for Skinner to make sure. I also hope we start seeing other high profile Democrats signing on. We need to start a massive dialogue directly with the leadership.

Seems to me that Skinner, et al, can easily confirm/vet the new posters and then "introduce" them personally to the board.

5. I think by taking her post from the thread she posted to and giving it its

own thread, Skinner's showing that he thinks it's really her.

6. We really need to encourage more to join.

That would help make us opposition central.

8. I think Skinner must have confirmed Mrs. Edwards and Chris

since they both posted with fewer posts than necessary. So I honestly think they are going to blogs with VERY large Democratic presence and thanking us. They DID take time out to thank the blogs who were and will be VERY important for the future of the party.

Yes...it was her!

2. Let's make an exception

for a very exceptional lady. C'mon skinner....get her that star and give her posting privilages NOW.

Or skittles will KICK YER ASS!

3. is there some reason she can't buy a star for a donation of $5

not sure why someone with less money would make the donation - I trust she can take care of herself

7. You would think so

:shrug:

[AP]

9. I was trying to be funny. People are always donating to good posters who

don't have stars yet.

In fact, all my stars have been sponsored by someone else. (For which I'm very grateful.)

10. Anyone have a link to her thread???

Thanks! :hi:

:kick:

[AP]

11. It's bouncing around the top of this page right now...

"From Elizabeth Edwards" is the subject line I believe.

12. Can we please not badger these people?

AP--you know you're my home slice, and this isn't directed at you.
I just happened to think of it in this thread.

I hope that DU manages to keep the starstruckness to a minimum if we want the Elizabeth Edwardses and Chris Heinzes to stick around. I hope we don't see fifty "Elizabeth Edwards! Read this!" or "Chris Heinz, can you tell your mom the ketchup is good" threads, etc.

I'm being an irritating handwringer here, but....eh.

You know what I mean.

[AP]

13. My intention was merely a little levity...

I was amused by the idea of some random DU'er donating in EE's name so that she could get a star and search the archives...

[tjdee]

15. I actually thought it was a cute idea too.

Again, I know I came in here and got all downer on your thread, LOL...

But reading the reply about 'can't she buy a star herself' made me start worrying again LOL! I just want people to be nice, that's all.

Unless we're talking about Assclown in the White House.

14. I Agree. People need to feel comfortable coming here. n/t
