Is it possible that politicians post on DU and don't say who they are?

[Quixote1818]

For all we know Wes Clark posts on here all the time or perhaps Howard Dean? Anyone have anyone they suspect?

1. No I don't.

2. That would require them to be in touch with real people

So I seriously doubt it

[punpirate]

3. Doubtful...

... since they can look at it and get the gist of the various views without ever having to join (which could cost them politically if discovered).

Nor do I think they have the time to go through what's on this board and the many others like it. Staffers or family might (and sometimes do), but they don't.

One prominent Lounge poster is really * himself. Rummy sticks to GD.

6. I don't think that they do

but they should at least lurk from time to time to just to get some alternative view points on issues.

8. Sure it's possible. Anything is possible.

The question you want to ask is, "How probable is it?"

I would say, probably not very.

There are some local politicians here - and even one Maine legislator (state, not federal) that I know of. But I don't think we have any senators or congresspeople or presidents or attorneys general.

9. Kind of depends upon where they are in the political strata, I would

imagine. Members of Town Councils are "politicians" too :)

11. I think they post

just to debate anonymously. To not be a politician who owes something to their staff and supporters but instead be the person who had good ideas and values.

12. I'm sure if one did post here

they wouldn't reveal who they are. Someone like Dean wouldn't have the time. But heck, what else do Wes Clark, John Edwards and Dick Gephardt have to do but sit around and post on DU? Plus, I bet some local officials post here.

13. Of course!!

I mean... the canoe can fly without it's pancakes... so long as the knees still listen to paper.

16. Even politicians have down time to relax. Perhaps they might go on DU?

17. I'm Howard Dean: YEAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!

[shraby]

18. John Kerry's stepson, Chris Heinz has

posted here..he uses his own name and Elizabeth Edwards has posted..she uses her own name.

[EC]

19. Chris Heitz and Elizabeth Edwards post

so I'm guessing the rest of the family reads it...

20. That Hate Mailbag post,"Conservatives are the smart", that's

gotta be Smirk.
