Legal Commentary

Saturday Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Big Tent Democrat is working on a brief this weekend. I'm heading out for the afternoon, here's an open thread for you. Please be civil.

For those of you who are new readers, keep in mind TalkLeft is not a neutral site. It is an advocacy site. With less than 45 days to the election, we will do our part to promote the candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama and Joe Biden as well as Democrats running down-ticket.

I'm not interested in fostering debate on the candidates. We oppose McCain-Palin. That doesn't mean we won't have criticism or suggestions for Obama-Biden or the media. We will. We'll call the polls, news events and upcoming debates as we see them. [More...]

But comments opposing/attacking Obama and supporting McCain-Palin are limited to four a day per commenter, and they must comply with all the other comment rules.

As always, we will continue to present our disagreement on policy, issues, campaign strategy, media coverage and the like. We're not in lock-step with any candidate's campaign. But we are trying to win an election.

Once Obama-Biden are in the White House, I'm sure there will be plenty of criticism on TalkLeft as TChris and I return to advocating for reforms on criminal justice issues and Big Tent Democrat continues to present his own unique take on things.

If you don't like the coverage or focus here, the Internet is a vast and wide place, I'm sure you can find a place that is compatible with your views.

Again, this is an open thread.
