There's one peculiarity at dKos that I haven't seen on other blogs. There are polls here, and they seem to be a big hit. The people here just love polls, and if you want your diary to be
really successful, you damn well better have one. I notice that there's many of us who proclaim, in their title, 'With Poll!!', just to draw you in. Why not just tell us you wrote a crappy diary,
but you got poll!
There's a lot of poll jumpers here. I can't tell you how many diaries I've read that have 23 comments, but 176 people took the poll. Can't stop to comment, gotta hunt those polls down!
One of the most important diaries I've seen on this site, by
deerskie, that defines who the neocons are, and how their agenda is to control us. He had a poll, and 91% of the 48 people who took it found that neocons are a threat to our democracy.
Isn't that BIG??? But they didn't recommend his diary, he only had 3 recommends. Most of them didn't comment, either.
A question here. What are our front pagers here to do, if not to find these gems and put them where we see them? In addition to posting their qwn stuff?
If we don't understand just who our enemy is, then how the hell are we going to defeat them? That diary spelled it out. Stop worrying about polls, folks, and start reading.
