Oh, I notice it. There is a very large silent majority for Fred. But id you look at the consistent numbers among the various camps on FR, the ones who post, the numbers are about even.

I think the reason you see the disparity is that the others have something to prove with their guy.

MAYBE that's the thing I'm getting. I see MANY more posts for (and against) other candidates than I do positive (or even negative) on Fred. But the VOTES are very highly for Fred. So it strikes me that the people supporting Fred (with the possible exception of myself) are not as verbose (as I said, with the exception of myself) on the subject.

It seems to me there'd be less in-fighting among Conservatives, at least publicly than with Liberals. Why? Because Liberals have taught themselves that "The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease" and that has become their motto in EVERYTHING they do - they yell louder, more obnoxiously than anyone else around them to get the most attention to their issues.

This causes me to believe that people supporting Fred as less "loud" and obnoxious.
