I've noticed quite a few Primary type questions in GD.

Have the rules changed?

that had nothing to do with their own campaigns, I think it seemed more "GD" then "Dem Primaries"...

Not sure everyone sees the line the same, but no, I don't think it has changed. Probably safest to just post everything that mentions a current candidate in the primary forum.

I've kinda noticed it over the past three weeks.

My guess is that a tincture of good news about candidate A here or bad news about opposition candidate B there are being posted in as many forums as they can get away with.
