2. They should go text-only, no ads, no icons, no graphics,
like Craigslist - an only one new post per hour per DUer (except for donors)

3. I might more prefer to see it
1 new post per hour for those who have over 1000 posts OR/AND are a donor. Sometimes it's tough. But I do like the completely stripped down idea. Just as long as it'll hold up.

5. Election night? If it's a good one for our side?
Shit, DU should shut down for 48 hours so Skinner and the boys can go party.
And WHO could blame them?
I'd even DONATE for that.

Take DU black for 48 hours.
Give you a special star or something.

This will be us...

6. And just the state and presidential campaigns operating.
None of the lifestyle forums or special groups that day or night.

8. LOL
Um....sure it will be. This place won't be accessible for 36 hours after it's called. Hell, it might not even be up the entire Election Day.

13. Damn right! Great fun
I spend every election night at local Democratic Headquarters, temporarily moved to a local hall donated to us by a social club. Four big flat screen TVs, the local results pouring in direct from the polls posted to the tote board, you can't beat it.

14. I'll be partying
I won't be near a computer. I feel very confident of a landslide, pretty much all my friends feel the same. We already have a party planned to celebrate our next President, Obama! I'm making wings, home made buffalo sauce is one of my specialties :D
