This is a political discussion board, and the "hot topics" get a lot of play. That shouldn't be a surprise--Clinton is a HOT ticket, for a lot of reasons--she's a known quantity, she generates news, she's highly experienced in the political arena, and if she runs and wins, she's the first female President of our land. That's a big frigging deal.

If the OP really wants people to talk about Congressional races, he should start some exciting threads about them, that people want to read, not tell us all how "fucked" we are for not doing what he wants, and how we need to, kindly or otherwise "unfuck" ourselves to meet his standard.

It just leaves me cold. Eat yer own damned peas before telling me to eat mine!

I think motivation speaks louder than excoriation and it's more effective, too.
