The point is to have one thread where everyone can voice why they will pull the lever for the candidate without being attacked for what they believe. This really isn't so much a thread about why candidate X is great, it is about allowing individuals to explarin the reasons and processes they are using to reach the conclusions they have. Keeping it positive is to create an atmosphere that is welcoming to all views and opinions.

For example, I will write my case for McCain at a later time. In it I might explain how I have reservations about him appointing judges that are strict constructions to the federal courts, but despite that, he is more likely than any other candidate with a legitimate shot at winning the White House to appoint those types judges. This one single thread allows me to make that comment and stay on topic without having another poster sidetrack the discussion by arguing whether or not strict constructionist judges are a good thing or what is a strict constructionist, because ultimately, this thread is not about that, but about how I came to my position of who to support.

If you want to make a claim that none of the candidates are worthy of your vote this time, feel free to do so. But explain your reasons why in a positive manner, just don't go around attacking candidates or other posters.
