<br>This could be solved by having another level of editing to "rate the raters". Show a users rating history over time to find any themes and hopefully sort out the bad apples.<br><br><br>-gmurray<br> </div><br>

I became ecstatic once I read the Campaigns Mission Statement, for<br>participatory politics is what I believe democracy is truly about. I<br>agree with those of you who encourage a bipartisan organization of<br>topics. I would hope that we can get past the political party
<br>methodology in order to discuss the issues themselves. I like the<br>rating system of certain posts, to help find the best of the best,<br>but am concerned of biases flooding the polls and blocking the<br>opposition. One idea is to geographically divide the site, similar to
