Wasit a second: can we not discuss the national ticket here?

[question everything]

Do discussion about possible running mates - including Hillary - get relegated to the GDP?

Is Obama/Gore ticket appropriate for GD, but Obama/Clinton is not?

Skinner, please help.

1. I'll jump the gun (there may be an an official announcement soon)

but mods and admin have just been talking about this: it's OK to discuss VPs in GD.

2. Well, there goes the neighborhood...

3. Just been clarifying this with the mods

Sorry if enforcement has been a bit fuzzy, we didn't give the mods clear enough instructions on how to handle this situation.

Here's what they've been told now: we would like to keep threads that are specifically about the primaries in GD:Primaries, while allowing threads that are about other things related to Obama and Clinton - for example, Obama's general election campaign, or the VP selection process - to be posted in GD.

Please note that these are just guidelines for the mods to work with, and it may not always be clear to them what should be done with a particular thread, so I apologize in advance if there is any uneven enforcement. These are temporary measures as we transition from the primaries to the general election.
