I think we need a weeky DU straw poll!!!

[Perky]

Pinned at the top.
You get to vote once a week.

You get to vote every week.

You see the weekly results grow like any other poll on DU but you also see trendlines over time for all the candidates.


It would be fascinating to watch the the horserace

To prevent trollers and freepers you have to be a DU Donor.


If you like the idea K&R

1. I vote for MONTHLY...

We have enough polls on here as it is.

How about one at the first of each month?

[Buzz Clik]

2. Starting in November...

[Perky]

3. Well the idea would be to supplant the 100 polls

that are going to be posted by individuals after labor day this year.


One poll for everyone.

4. Or now. If there was only one button I could push to get rid of all of them until November. n/t

5. Welp....

If you feel like starting a "Perky's weekly Poll " people will vote in it..

As far as pinning it.. ..I think Skinner would've created a straw poll like Kos a long time ago if he wanted to. You'd have to ask him. I still think weekly would be too often though, but that's just me.



As far as Freepnoids, there are many "paid to freep" ones here -- -- so I'm afraid you'll still be stuck with some of them on your polls..

6. It would be good publicity for DU

And it would generate discussion of the sort we never see here. :)

7. I'm with ya

Put aside, for a moment, how VERY important this all is. Forget for just a second or so how dangerous the world and national situation is and just look at the race as simply that: a race. I, for one, have never been the least bit interested in sports, but politics fulfill that primal urge in me.

It's a hell of a horse race, and the nominees will probably be chosen in a little over eight months from now.

This will also serve to siphon off some of the rancor as people just watch and spend their energies trying to show trends.

How would you do this? Have it open all week and then freeze the results on Saturday night? That'd be my vote.

Sounds like fun, and it'll ground out some of the nasty energy that's inevitable as things heat up here.

8. How about ....

The candidate with the least votes at the end of the week is eliminated.
