Reply #12: I'd personally prefer that candidate threads were posted in GD-Politics, but that's just my opinion.

It's already damn difficult to keep substantial policy discussions kicked up in GD, and harder still when candidate threads are added to the daily clutter.

Hopefully, the admins will open up a GD-Primary forum soon where all the candidate threads can duke it out with each other and leave GD mercifully free of horse race posts.

In the meantime, I do very much wish that candidate threads were confined to the GD-Politics forum, which seems like the most appropriate venue. Not all of us believe that the 2008 election is the most pressing issue at this time. Some of us find it much more relevant to concentrate on the actions of those who are in office NOW.
