You squabble and you will get hit... hard... and find yourself taking a break from the DBR.
I want everyone to understand that this does not mean you cannot display your party loyalty -- I am a liberal and will be rooting for the Democrats in the election -- but you must treat the other side with respect.
Thanks for reopening. I started the thread because the talk of the race is now legitimately heating up, and it is always fun to see what surprises happen along the way. AND THERE ARE ALWAYS surprises. That's what this thread is for, the fun of the discussion of the suprises, the miscalculations, and maybe even the rarity of a boring election that winds up exactly how we think it will. (Not a snowball's chance.)
