1. Thanks for your concern...

I think people should continue to vet her... DU is one of the few places this can happen right now. The more we dig, and discuss, the more we will know.

Carry on DU.

But your concerns are duly noted.

5. I'm not a concern troll. My criticism is against the repetitive posts that obsess on Palin nt

2. My point is that many posts are repeats or small points about Palin. We need

to get past that. We know about her now. The focus needs to be on winning the election and not obsessing about Palin. Her 15 minutes should be history soon enough.

9. We don't know near enough about her yet...

And I fail to see how shutting down discussion on her is going to get us any further information.

Shutting down discussion is what the RW does...

13. I said "garbage". Like being afraid of cats and other distracting posts

It's less humorous but more important to focus on Obama and activism.

Focusing on Palin is not going to win this election.

Obama is up against McCain and we need to help him by maintaining that focus.

15. Palin is winning back votes for the RW...

I think she needs vetted... completely and thoroughly. I think she should be discussed... a lot. The petty stuff will die down; it always does.

3. THANK YOU.

I've never seen such a stupid storm in a teacup. Is there NOTHING that DU won't turn into an "ooo the scary republicans are going to beat us AGAAAAAIN" story? Sometimes I wonder if there aren't people on this board who feel uncomfortable with the idea of being ahead.

Yes, she's right wing and has some image-related advantages. Surprise! They weren't a COMPLETE pushover. They're politicians TOO. They have brains and can manage SOME politicking.

It's stupid in politics to cower in fear of your opponent simply because they have the scary audacity to oppose you.

4. Please stop doing the DU mods and administors' jobs for them.

Scroll and Hide Thread are handy little tools--and I'll determine what I want to talk about. I don't participate in the Palin threads but I don't tell anyone else not to.

10. Thank you!

Shutting down discussion is a RW tactic and should never be allowed here.

6. this focus on palin, or "how bad the mean ol' media is", is EXACTLY what the Republicans want u2do

rather than actually doing something to affect the election --

like, get down to your local campaign office and start registering voters, stuffing envelopes, calling people.

8. I agree and I am very upset about them winning on this one. I'm sure they are enjoying the whirlwind

But we cannot afford to enjoy this kind of gossip and trash anymore.

My point is that we all know it by now. Little details on Sarah Palin do not need to be rehashed constantly.

That is distracting to say the least.

11. Balderdash

The RW wants us to stop talking, stop discussing, just stop.

There's a lot of research yet to be done, and discussion is a good thing.

There's Palin threads and then there's Palin threads. The vetting will continue. Undermining Palin on the issues undermines McCain.

14. I think people jump in and post every detail about Palin w/o seeing the repetition

This only benefits the idea that Palin is a distraction.

We don't have the power to vet her as much as we have the power to work for Obama.

All the Palin posts get in the way because it's like some juicy soap opera that should not matter if we get the numbers for Obama.
