Why are all the threads about Hillary and Barack about their campaign events & polls..

[jillan]

And all the threads about Biden, Edwards, Kucinich and Dodd are about
things they are actually doing or proposing to do?

Just look at this page -
Oprah for Obama
Sc poll
if Hillary wins this state will she win that state..
Beating Hillary will take an act of God
Obama says he's been if office longer!

And then there's
Edwards discusses preventive healthcare
Biden goes to Iraq
Kucinich goes to Syria
Richardson discusses public transportation
(sorry Dodd supporters - couldn't find anything on him)

What is this?
:crazy:

1. Because they have actual plans and are "doing" things?

[jgraz]

2. You mean there's something else to their campaigns besides events and polls?

Hmm...must've missed that.

3. Edwards "discusses preventive healthcare" - LOL

Look, I'm 100% certain that if Hillary or Obama started talking about mandatory health care, and forcing people to go to the doctor, we'd have tons of threads on that too!

Thing is, neither of them have made that particularly bone-headed gaffe, at least not yet.

4. Well - what have they been talking about?

Give us some meat.

9. Ethics reform, health care, etc.

These things are posted all the time but they don't draw as much attention as the food fights.

From the past two days of campaigning alone:

5. Well, a good number of them are from suspect DU members.

The ones I suspect are on the payroll of the candidates they are selling. Otherwise why would every post they make be fluff?

(Before anyone is offended - that doesn't mean everyone posting for those candidates are being described above, far from it. It's actually many posts by a few members that I'm describing - and you can pretty much follow their posts for a day or two to see who I mean.)

7. You are spot on with that observation, AZBlue

Between the paid operatives, govt operatives and independent freeptrolls, we got-a-lot-a company.




Tonight we have one less....

6. 'Cause they're "triangulating" and "shadow boxing"

and have no substantive programs to talk about -- just a lot of hot air about how they're the "perfect candidate" 'cause they're "so experienced" and "care a lot"...

Maybe :shrug: :eyes:

8. Well, if they are way back in the polls

Of course they aren't going to discuss them. What are Kucinich threads going to say about polls? Woohoo! We've moved from 1% to 2% in the latest poll. That would get depressing quickly, so naturally they don't create thread on polls.

The leaders are, of course, more focused on their relative position to each other and what they are doing. Again, just human nature. Not that they don't have valid positions and are working too.

If Biden, Kucinich, or Dodd where up where Hillary or Obama was, then the dynamic would be totally the opposite. A good example is all the Iowa poll results for Edwards that get posted...why?...He's leading there.
