Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org
With the US Presidential Election coming up, we've had a lot of story submissions that we would like to post, but they don't fit very well on the Slashdot main page. To address this, we'll be running special political coverage between now and the election in our new Politics subsection of Slashdot. Please submit stories directly to the section for consideration.
As with all sections on Slashdot,
there will be stories available within that section that don't get posted to the main page, so please visit the section if you are interested in more coverage.
We'll do our best to be fair with story selection. We think we can do a good job since the Slashdot editors represent a diverse spectrum of political ideologies. The discussions are up to you guys. Here's hoping the experiment works!
any chance for /. interviews with the candidates for the issues that concern us nerds? I mean, this new sub section would hopefully give /. a little more clout.

So does this mean all comments will be automatically moderated to -1 Troll? =)
Right is wrong when left is right.
+1 Democrat

(Change + with - as seen fit)I am a viral sig. Please help me spread.
Serious damage and Slashdot karma just don't belong in the same sentence...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
How do I mod an entire section as flamebait?
:)
And I can see all the foriegners complaining that this is too U.S. centric
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.
Non-US countries have elections?
Well, yeah, but not exactly like the ones you USAmericans have. In most other countries, those who get more votes, actually win the election...
I don't have a sig.
It's possible I'm just a rosy-glassed optimist, but I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope.
Obviously thinly veiled references to the rosary, cross, and christian 'hope', you sneaky troll.
Oh, wait, this isn't the religion section is it?
Politics?
Well that's essentially the same thing. Flame on!

As a service to the editors, I fired up gimp, took the graphic and mixed every flag from every country together - what better way to promote a non-centrist discussion?
Unfourtunately, I got this.
That's only going to cause wars.
I fully expect this section to be a non-stop flamefest that leaves nobody untouched. A knock-down drag-out troll fight, with everyone yelling, minimal dialogue, and 4 billion threads that run something like this:
"Bush Sucks."
"Democrats Suck."
"Non-libertarians Suck."
"America Sucks."
"Europe Sucks."
"My Country Isn't In Europe, You American Idiot."
"I'm Not an American, You Elitist Freak."
"I hate the it.slashdot.org color scheme."
"I predict all of the threads in this section will sound like this:"
*beep*
Infinite Loop.
In the case you didn't know, 'bipartisanship' in politics means that the other guys will do it your way, too.
Marxist evolution is just N generations away!
I'd support an intelligent Bush too...

Just how CmdrTaco managed to arrest Saddam Hussein I shall never know.
It's a Bagel.
He's a very intelligent Bush supporter. ... married to the Easter Bunny, playing poker with Santa on the weekends.
