1. Interesting, I hadn't thought of that...

However, as a Dean supporter, I am sure I can find recent articles on any candidate in the running, no?

2. I tend to agree with you....

Besides, in practice i fear it wil cause confusion and chaos....

3. How about if your candidate doesn't have a chance at the nomination?

Well, no worries. I'd rather not bring everybody else down, but I can't imagine that there's a concernabout the true inequities invoved here, and that there were only certain choices from the beginning.

4. Please keep your complaints about the rules in my thread.

It's here:

I don't think we need the GD forum to be filled with "vote yes" and "vote no" threads.

5. A different viewpoint.

Shouldn't you really be in favor of that rule if your opponent's candidate is hated by the pundits? Then, there's plenty of dirt.

While that is mostly meant as a joke, I'm bringing this up because I think your subject is a tad self-serving and a little auto-defensive of whomever your candidate is.

There are tons and tons and tons of pro- and anti-candidate documents out on the web, in newspapers, magazines, and so on. I'm not so sure this isn't such a bad rule because it may help keep the unsubstantiated BS count down.
