LIVE THREAD: ELECTIONS 2006

[Dog]

Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.

[DainBramage]

Lazy Dog

[MamaB]

I like that idea, too.

[Always Right]

Hostettler loses the first seat to the Dems...GOP-1

[Red Badger]

Wearing out your mouse?......

[KoRn]

Lets have a live thread, LIVE THREAD!!

[ConservativeMind]

I vote for three: Governor, House, Senate

[Jeff Head]

With as many elections as there are going on...how would you find the results you were looking for on a single thread?

I like the idea of threads by State...or even threads by major (contested) Representative, Senate, and Governor races.

[Renegade]

CBS called Casey over Santorum

[Mo1]

works for me

[hole_n_one]

Won't there be more recipes posted if there are more live threads?

[familyop]

With only one thread on election returns, we would have to sort through thousands of comments to see the news on any one state.

IMO, all posts should be limited to election numbers until most of the numbers are in. [g]

[Dog Gone]

One live thread for about 300 races of national interest? No one could refresh the thread fast enough to keep up.

[Red Steel]

The 4 regional threads are a good idea.

[SW6906]

This is impossible to keep up. I vote for one - LIKE WE'VE DONE HERE EVERY YEAR FOR THE last EIGHT+ YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[isom35]

I think we need a thread for each state. Thats only 50...

[Petronski]

Amen. This is ludicrous.

[meanie monster]

Sweet idea!!!! I have been on like a hundred threads so far...

[hispanarepublicana]

You only have one browser window open?

[Toby06]

A single thread gets too crowded.

[kimmie7]

HEY, I got one of the best peanut butter cookie recipes I've ever used (and the only one I use now) from an election thread!

[Petronski]

With as many elections as there are going on...how would you find the results you were looking for on a single thread?

The same way it has always been done.

Sheesh.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Is this the place to be?

[ground_fog]

Somebody say something positive-gloom everywhere

[LikeLight]

I'm in.

[CaptainK]

Rep. Gov. Jodi Rell just called winner in Conn.

[Jim Robinson]

There's been one running all day:

[SaveTheChief]

That's a good idea. Let me post a thread to ask...

[SW6906]

And that's the problem - people cluttering the election threads with recipes and discussions of their weather and other unrelated crap.

[Red Steel]

The 4 regional threads are a good idea.

Or whatever is needed. :-)

[PureSolace]

I think you just made one Dog. :)

[ConservativeMind]

But you are left going through EVERYTHING for 1,000's of posts.

[Black Guy who is a Republican]

I completely agree.

[BunnySlippers]

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

[Straight Vermonter]

I agree I HATE this broken up format.

[Dog]

Never mind...oops.

[VeniVidiVici]

One thread would be a nuthouse.

[TPluth]

Why don't we turn the whole site into one single thread?

Do you understand the concept of using threads to seperate things by topic? Putting all results into one thread would create a monster thread that everyone would be reloading every couple seconds. Nobody would be able to keep up with it.

[technomage]

The Mods have done this many times and their approach is the correct one.

Doing it by region as they are splits up the hundreds of races into a handful of threads.

[Crimson Elephant]

Sometimes I wish FREEREPUBLIC was more like a message board.

The format is a little clunky during certain times like big events, the war, elections etc.

[SW6906]

With as many elections as there are going on...how would you find the results you were looking for on a single thread?

The same way it has always been done.

Sheesh.

Ditto that!

[Mr. Mojo]

Damn. ....Hostettler (R-IN is one of the (very) few 'critters to receive an "A+" grade from Gun Owners of America.

Very bad news, if true.

[NonValueAdded]

No

[SW6906]

Aren't you interested in everything? ;o)

[Man50D]

So far the replies in this thread have been debating the merits of one thread but nothing about election results!

[Salvation]

State threads would be good.

Or time zone threads.

[mylife]

You got sumthin against cookies?

[kimmie7]

oh, be nice. On the other hand, be mean. Tomorrow's my birthday - you can hand me a red nation as a make up gift.

[Yaelle]

Chappaquidick Ted just won re-election. I didn't even know he was running. I told my kids no senator in CA was running this year too -- I didn't know DiFi was up for re-election until I saw her on the ballot. No one ever bothers running against these people? Guess it saves them a lot of money not to even ATTEMPT a campaign!

[areafiftyone]

Actually I prefer one thread too.
