The sticky thread at the top of the Elections Forum has, I think, served its purpose: it was started in June of 2010, when the forum was a temporary experiment, and then re-named “Elections” in January of 2011. As **bup** said a year ago: “I think we got this now. Maybe un-sticky it?” Just a thought. ---

Speaking of still-true things I’m going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction: “Obama wins it in 2012!” 🙂 ---

To provide a serious response to the OP, I agree. After six years I think its purpose is not only served, but was probably well and truly served five years ago. ---

The text below Comments on Cecil’s Columns/Staff Reports reads “Say what you really think. Please, don’t gush. And for comments on Staff Reports ( **formerly called “Mailbag Answers”** )” How long has it been since it was called Mailbag Answers? ---
