I know this forum isn't about politics, so I really shouldn't even comment here, but...
How can the frontrunner upset the cinderella?
And then I get a down mod because someone disagrees with my political opinion? Haha. News.YC is definitely not the place for politics.
Sorry, dude. I will also downmod you. It has nothing to do with your political opinion. It has to do with the fact that it is political. Wanna post about politics, go to reddit. I'd like this place be clean of it myself, and I will use the tools that were made available to me to do it.
I thought this piece was an interesting political analysis that avoided pushing political hot buttons. Plus, I figure a lot of people here like Obama and would find it interesting. But, anything political is automatically controversial, so oh well.
"I thought this piece was an interesting political analysis that avoided pushing political hot buttons."
Maybe.
Hacker news?
Nope.
I thought it would fit given that Obama seems to be the in candidate with the tech crowd.
Well don't encourage that ;p
It's not that it's controversial, just that it's badly placed. Hacker news was originally targetted at News for Startups, and has expanded to cover the rest of the tech world.
It loses it's usefullness if it expands to become Digg/Reddit, and covers general topics of Interest.
