Notice something missing at DU today?

Very few troll threads.

They usually come over here in bunches when they are feeling confident and bold.


I'm guessing they're pretty down in the dumps right now. Their hero's gambit has failed miserably. He's going to the debate with his tail between his legs.


Gallup and Rasmussen polls today have them skittish.


They apparently aren't too interested in their "McCain points" today. They're bummed.



;-)

2. I noticed that, too. And there are some very good new posters.
That one troll yesterday was so obvious he wasn't even fun to play with.

4. I also think they are aware of what a calamity it would be to elect John
even most trolls and freepers are not so stupid as to think McCain is a good choice to start with. They have to play the hand they were dealt and there are no more "good" cards left in this deck called McPalin.

7. Excellent observation. I think the "campaign suspension" bullshit hit them right
between the eyes, and they saw it for the naked, cynical, bullshit move that it was.

19. Let me be contrarian. It's my view that people are sometimes accused of being trolls...
when they post articles that are not good news for our campaign, or they express legitimate concern for our campaign when it's in a troubled state. Today, our press is positive, so the articles generally have good news -- and things are looking up for our campaign. Could this be the reason there are no "trolls" today?

I know there are trolls, and even "concern trolls," but I think a lot of time is wasted here on them.

I also would like the right, for myself and others, to post realistic news and opinions, and not be "thanked for concern," or accused as a troll.

Be prepared for Barack to be attacked -- with oodles of concern for how he said this, how he looked that way, etc.

They are so predictable.
