I’m not a fan of the concept. But having watched Perry supporters attacked repeatedly for posting in “Palin” threads, it is clear most people like the idea of candidates having threads.

So I’ve even recommended providing a version of the religion forum’s “CAUCUS” designations so people who really like a candidate can talk about that candidate without others coming in and interrupting. But not for myself, I tend to avoid caucus threads. It would tell me where NOT to read.

And yes, this ia a “Perry” thread, posted by a pro-Perry freeper.

But really, the issue isn’t Palin folks and other folks posting here, it’s the posting of unrelated articles, images, and discussions that detracts from the discussion.

A perfect example: In a thread about Sarah Palin defending and agreeing with Rick Perry’s comments on Social Security, what is the relevancy of a picture of Rudy Giuliani in drag?

If tou consider this a Perry thread about social security, it has no place. But worse, if you consider this a thread about Sarah Palin’s interview, are we relating HER to Rudy in Drag? No matter which candidate you think is being discussed, that picture, and a couple other discussions on this thread, are unrelated to the topic of the thread.
