I find it hard to believe that DU doesn't need the funds it would generate.

Plus, the only people who might find it disturbing are those who would actively work against the Democratic Candidate in 2012, and according to the rules, they supposedly aren't allowed here.

1. The moderators were uncomfortable with the gambling aspect.

That is not something that is explicitly covered by our rules, but I support their caution.

2. I guess that's better than you being uncomfortable with the actual bet

I feel my point was made regardless.

The silence was deafening.

People will weigh these boards down with post after post trying to take Barack Obama down.
What my Fund Drive demonstrated was that they don't even believe the bullshit they are pushing.
They're just doing it to vent...constantly.

The atmosphere here as a result is very harsh for those of us who can comprehend what is truly at stake in all of this and realize Obama is our only hope for progress in the near Future.
