It DU-GDP had an election for mayor who would you choose and why/

If the goal of the moay was to move 75% of DU from issue to issue towards a 'more perfect union"


Would you choose some one who had the strongest arguments

The person most like yourself politically

Or the one who could see both sides of an argument works to reconcile disparate views and build consensus.

Or some other criteria.


Lets have fun with this and keep it light hearted

1. I'd vote for someone from the Guns forum because they could keep us safe.

Actually, if we were looking for DU leadership, it would be nice to find someone who could help promote commonality and get away from the self-induced polarity. I like the discussions, but the nasty personal level stuff doesn't help.

6. The Magistrate, H2O Man, California Peggy and NanceGreggs.
These are among the DUers for whom I have the greatest respect.

There are, of course, many others who I love but if I start naming them I'll leave someone out.

:patriot:
