Poll: Most entertaining type of GD thread.....
For me hands down it's the ones where the original post is something about a candidate (ie." Candidate X has a proven record of blah blah blah...") and contains some sort of article or listing of facts which really doesn't provide much insight but is more or less just a fluff piece.

But then the responses wherein an inordinate number of people responding pretend to be surprised and informed by this information and treat it like some great factual revelation when it's painfully clear they already support the candidate in question:

"Wow, that's great. Thanks for the information. Sounds like he/she may deserve serious consideration"

"I did not know that. This is great news and may put me in candidate X's camp!!!!"

"Oh my. Based off of this it seems like Candidate X is really the one to go for if (insert issue here) is important to me, which it most definitely is!"



I've seen some variation of this for most of the candidates but one candidate in particular seems to engender an extremely large number of these. I can't complain about them since they are good natured which is what amuses and entertains me about them

1. I certainly look forward to the end of the primaries. I hate it that we are
at each others throats all the time. Will be good to get behind one candidate. Whomever it is - I will be happy and proud. We have a great slate.
