I didn't think it could be done

But P&N has reached a new low. We now have to suffer through the cheerleaders dredging up five year old threads to crow about how stupid someone on the other team is.

The sad part is that P&N could be an interesting forum. Real ideas could be discussed, there could be actual intelligent conversation going on right now. Instead we have foolish children (who's only real concern is that their side wins) calling each other idiots and reviving threads that were dead five years ago.
We have a nice new forum (well done btw), we have a search that works, the posts are even in the right order! Lets take that last step and make P&N usable.

P&N is actually a pretty good snapshot of the world of politics. As for those who make fun of previously-made incorrect predictions, well, those people are almost always the ones who refuse to make them.

I agree, and that's why it's useless. Perhaps P&N is supposed to be what it is right now, and I simply missed the point. It's a lot more like a war board than a discussion forum. I guess I'm looking for a level of maturity and depth that isn't available here.

Thanks for the response my friend.

I think P&N is marginally more intelligent than average. After all, there are legions of voters who can't figure out how to start their computer.

Along with most of the politicians they elect.

Shizzle. P&N is just an indicator of the world at large, and those guys are marginally more intelligent than the politicians we elect.
I say let them go crazy. Remember: The reason we have a P&N at all is to keep them out of Off Topic, so OT can theoretically be more fun and silly and enjoyable.

Blah blah blah, I'm sure if Palin would've won you never would've made this post.

Thank you Dave, but you needn't have bothered. I already made the point that many here weren't mature or intelligent enough for P&N.
