FOR TONIGHT: Please, please refrain from posting a new thread for every idle thought

Post your comment instead in an existing thread.

It will be crazy enough here, and difficult enough to follow, without a lot of unnecessary idle thoughts threads.

I didn't think it was worth a thread though so I'll post it here.

What way do you think Ohio will go? I live here and was just curious what everyone thought.

Franklin County went for the Dem candidate in all of the last 3 presidential elections, but that's only one part of a very big state.

As a Kerrytraveler from California volunteering in Columbus, I was sure our guy would win. He did, in Franklin County, by about 42,000 votes iirc. But our victory party that night ended early...

during the debates it was like a real drag all the posts on every comment made onstage.

And then if you were to reply within the thread no response

not very stimulating conversation

I blame twitter

That's what eggs up the site.

Everyone thinks THEIR thought deserves its own op, despite the fact that someone else already stated the same damn thing!

I'm going to follow things on DU, instead of the networks until I get a good feel for what's happening. I will refrain from typing my ongoing freak outs. I promise!!

I had a dog, his name was Jack
He shit all over the railroad track
a train came by, the shit did fly
