I check it out now and then, usually scanning for how they spin what would be bad news from their point of view. What strikes me is that their threads seem to be a great deal more chatter, and less logic.
Listening to various talking heads, there are some libs that can put together rational thoughts... but this seems to occur rarely at DU. Seriously now, trying my best to see this from as unbiased view as I can strain myself to take, the sheer volume of rational replies here versus at DU is 100 to 1, no matter what I make of the actual content of the replies.

That's why Kerry's message makes total sense to them. "I will defeat terrorism", "I will create 45million new jobs", "Total equality will reign during my presidency", "We will be oil independant by 2006", blah, blah, blah. Never bothers to say how this will all be done. But those details are not important to the DU minded folks.
