The way I always assumed was that the Mudpit was for politcal debate, while Poiltics/Scandal was just for discussion of
politically-related news stories.
Problem is that the Mudpit attitude of 'rant and go' seems to be spilling over into other areas, particularly the war on terrorism. P/S isn't about
scandal, it's about making digs at one candidate or the other.
I agree. After the elections, things will calm down. Although, I think January is optimistic...more like March. Then, it'll be back to discussing the
'horrors and hidden agenda' of the administration in power. Yup....back to normal....
