Texsox Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I was thinking it may be interesting and informative to have posters follow a campaign and adopt a candidate. The main guys are easy enough to follow, but some of the small candidates always seem to have some great agenda items that get incorporated into party platforms. I'm not certain if we would have individual threads for each candidate, I know we are trying to avoid that, but maybe under this format, or even lock them like Nuke's diary.

I don't think we need individual threads. Maybe later when there are only a few left. For now, that would be too many. But I like the adoption idea. I'd love to see more updates in the DEM and GOP candidate threads. I'll take my guy Richardson. Next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 We were talking about doing reviews of the websites as well and making comments about each one to really learn about the candidates. If we do that, no matter who it is, we should list 3 positives and 3 negatives (you know, fair and balanced ) analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'll take McCain unless some of the Goperheads doesn't think I'm GOP enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Here can be the master post for adoptions. I'll update it as people take candidates, like we do with AAP's... Current candidates for each party: Republicans Rudy Giuliani Mitt Romney John McCain (Texsox) Fred Thompson (kapkomet) Mike Huckabee (BigSqwert) Tom Tancredo Sam Brownback Duncan Hunter Ron Paul Alan Keyes (Sox4LifeinPA) Democrats Hillary Clinton Barack Obama (Chet Lemon) John Edwards Bill Richardson (NorthSideSox72) Joe Biden Dennis Kucinich (Soxy) Chris Dodd (Balta1701) Mike Gravel (GoSox05) I did not include Gore, Gingrich or any other non-declared candidates. They can be added later. USE THIS THREAD FOR declaring what candidates you want, and also if you want to provide profiles or links to profiles of your candidate. Everything ele should still go in the DEM and GOP candidate threads. Sound good? UPDATED: 9/30/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, let me make sure Chet Lemon doesn't want him, he kind of mentioned him first. Once I hear back from him on which of Obama or Keyes he wants, if he wants Obama, you can have Keyes.
