Is there really a demand for a John Edwards group in DU3?

Looking down the list, there are other odd groups which seem to have been carried over as well.

When time allows, someone should go through the avatars and delete a bunch of them. I am a John Kerry fan but do we really need 22 choices? All through the options, there are many that are no longer relevant.

Hey, where is my spell check button?

when we eventually reorganize the forums and groups before the software is launched.

To Paper Roses: the avatars have already been reorganized and many have been removed. If you go to your "My Profile" page and click "Edit" in the Avatars section, you'll be able to the new selection.

It's pretty sad at this point considering what he did to his wife and children.

Obama is a nice guy to his wife and children, a nice guy in general, but oh my, his economic policy is not nice to a lot of women and children (and men) in our country.

Remember John Edwards' main theme: Two Americas.

It wasn't until OWS that Obama really dared to talk about the Two Americas. And even now, Obama doesn't seem to really seem that concerned about the issue of wealth disparity -- not like Edwards was.

When are you just going to accept that Congress is the preeminent branch of government and without strong majorities (60+) in the Senate it doesn't really matter who is President on anything that requires an appropriations measure or change to the tax code.

Bookmark the html page from DU2 until it's back in DU3?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=html_table

Most of them seem to be working!

I think I'm going to put it up in Meta tomorrow.
