Poll question: If you could, would you change your DU handle?
Our political world has changed overnight. We've gone from a nation and party suffering under Bush to a nation and party eager for President-elect Obama's administration. Given the way that the shift from minority to majority will intrinsically change the way each of us sees ourselves in relation to our government and our party, would you change your DU handle if you could?

3. No. I changed it during the first name change amnesty, but I hadn't been here long at that point.
I think in the intervening years, many of us have grown attached to our names, even if they are names we wouldn't choose if we were just signing up now.

16. I guess I'll have to as of January 20th
Someone suggested DeposedTheBoyKing, but we really didn't do that, as his sorry ass is still squatting in the White House. I haven't come up with a new moniker yet.
