I had high hopes that the internet would allow us to break through that, but it probably has not been the case.
There’s the possibility that only right now are mainstream americans even starting to pay attention, so we could see a real upsurge on boards like FR for information. Unfortunately, if it happened right now, we’re not well prepared for such an event and the frustration factor would set in quickly.
It might serve Free Republic for us to have some Newbie threads on the candidates, where we don’t post anything but the candidate’s positions on issues, and then have the moderator lock the thread so it can’t be hijacked.
Maybe I’ll raise it up the flagpole to Jimrob to see if he salutes it.

That is a fantastic idea! Noob-ly speaking.
I'm sorry...I know it's not where you were going, but the absurdity of the very thought of documenting Hillary Clinton's positions and locking it down made me chuckle out loud.
That's walking-a-camel-through-the-eye-of-a-needle material.
