  • Okari, on 11/21/2007, -34/+436Give me a ***** break. Quit adding crap and fix the damn comments and add the one month late pic section.
  • Revovisionary, on 11/21/2007, -13/+331hahahahaha.... No Hillary Clinton hahahahah
  • Worldchrisis, on 11/21/2007, -12/+206Where can I bury Hilary Clinton?
  • MikeonTV, on 11/21/2007, -40/+209Why humiliate every candidate not named Ron Paul?
  • MutatedNantuko, on 11/21/2007, -28/+191Are we going to have to hear more about Ron Paul now?
  • inactive, on 11/21/2007, -59/+196Ron paul will have more digg friends than votes at the first primary...
  • inactive, on 11/21/2007, -6/+104Oh boy! I can't IMAGINE how this could go wrong...
  • mattrmcg, on 11/21/2007, -10/+105Where is my favorite candidate, Christopher Walken?
  • lane.montgomery, on 11/21/2007, -8/+101While it's nice to see candidates embracing the types of media I actually use to get news, it seems to me that these will mostly be just platforms for them to point to their various youtube videos and fund raising announcements. I smell the birth of another digg Ron Paul story, about him having the most friends on digg.
  • Okari, on 11/21/2007, -5/+95I've been hearing that for the past year. Need to quit working on pointless crap like shouts and actually work on real problems.
  • lukas88, on 11/21/2007, -3/+89A few digg favorites (Ron Paul, Obama) could really cash in on this if they spent a few minutes a week digging and commenting. It really doesn't take much to make a digger loyal.

    More than likely it will be a rep though.
  • inactive, on 11/21/2007, -9/+92I found the digg button for Paul...now where can I find the bury button for Giuliani?
  • edicius, on 11/21/2007, -5/+80Where's Colbert?

    I know, I know, but I still want to digg him up.
  • Daemion43, on 11/21/2007, -3/+66Fix the ***** URL truncation BS. It breaks links all the time.

  • BagginsBoy, on 11/21/2007, -7/+66How about your backyard?
  • gamebittk, on 11/21/2007, -6/+64Nice. But will we *really* get to interact with the actual candidates, or will it be just reps. At least it'll help me keep track of these elections, especially since I'm running a political news site.
  • dburka, on 11/21/2007, -8/+65They get submitted within microseconds of each other and only one can be the match. Seriously, why complain? What's the big deal? The story is getting attention.
  • Lindane, on 11/21/2007, -4/+59LOL! So which of you retards is friends with Giuliani?
  • Me1000, on 11/21/2007, -3/+53There needs to be a button that says, "I hate this ***** moron"
    (or some equivalent to a bury)
  • Revovisionary, on 11/21/2007, -3/+50I can envision a country with more cow bell
  • gamer31, on 11/21/2007, -5/+46So they manage to roll this new section out, but still no hint at a picture section.
    We need a picture section!!!!!
  • zephc, on 11/21/2007, -5/+46LOL: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2598/donothingi ...
  • gamebittk, on 11/21/2007, -1/+39Microseconds? That's pretty fast.
  • inactive, on 11/21/2007, -14/+51Good thing this translates to proportionally equivalent real life support, right?
  • metapop, on 11/21/2007, -3/+39they said she's a work in progress.
  • MikeonTV, on 11/21/2007, -14/+50"Looking for Senator Hillary Clinton or your favorite candidate? This page is a work in progress."
    Like she has a chance anyways!
  • Coven, on 11/21/2007, -3/+35that's an understatement
  • mlusher, on 11/21/2007, -4/+36Why no independent section?
  • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 11/21/2007, -40/+72In before Ron Paul spam.
  • jaygee, on 11/21/2007, -0/+31Is this something the community requested?
  • ekai, on 11/21/2007, -2/+33Kevin, you should invite the top dugg candidates onto diggnation, one per week, until you've drunk them all under the table.
  • Damian91, on 11/21/2007, -2/+32We getz to tell off Giuliani now?
  • CondoleezzaRice, on 11/21/2007, -10/+36Yeah, we all know that there aren't humans behind those diggs.
  • damnitdaniel, on 11/21/2007, -2/+26I'm pretty sure Condeleezza Rice isn't human.
  • damnitdaniel, on 11/21/2007, -0/+22I would like to see what the candidates *really* digg. All of the diggs are articles about themselves.

    ...that might give us a little more insight as to who we're really voting for.
  • VeganBob, on 11/21/2007, -9/+31I'm still hoping Kucinich gets more strength (nationally and on Digg).
  • TwinTurboMike, on 11/21/2007, -2/+24Hmm, it says Giuliani has 35 friends. Buried as inaccurate.
  • acu8509, on 11/21/2007, -2/+24"...Looking for Hillary Clinton(?)..."

    nope
  • Universal, on 11/21/2007, -2/+23This one is in the Tech News section too.
  • sockpuppets, on 11/21/2007, -2/+22Woah, you actually USE pownce? :p
  • whatthefu, on 11/21/2007, -4/+24"Looking for Senator Hillary Clinton or your favorite candidate? This page is a work in progress." Lol
  • whatsupimphil, on 11/21/2007, -6/+24There are no women on Digg.
  • Remmy, on 11/21/2007, -2/+20It's amazing what Chuck Norris can do for your campaign, isn't it?
  • inactive, on 11/21/2007, -4/+22no we don't. We need for people to stop submitting things that their grandmothers forward to them.
  • iblaine, on 11/21/2007, -7/+25Click refresh on the page and watch Ron Paul's number of friends increase. Meanwhile everyone else goes nowhere. The Ron Paul effect is going to destroy this 'popularity poll'
  • lane.montgomery, on 11/21/2007, -2/+19*sigh*

  • xerigen, on 11/21/2007, -3/+19If you read his comments, you will realize that he is very anti ron paul.
  • HonoredMule, on 11/21/2007, -1/+17I hate to break it to you, but 1812 and 2026 are only microseconds apart...just lots of them.
  • inactive, on 11/21/2007, -8/+24Because you put it in the tech news section and not the 2008 elections section?
  • libertao, on 11/21/2007, -2/+18Not surprising considering how many anti-Hilary stories pop up here.
