Draft Rice
The Draft Rice section appears to have been written by a member of that organization.. "Rice-supporters are counting on Dr. Rice's sense of patriotism and loyalty to country to accept the call of the American people to run for president." How is that encyclopaedic? 142.150.41.57 17:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC


 * It's not, but so much on Wikipedia isn't that I'm not sure it matters.
 * I'd like to know if there are indications/evidence that it is the most notable political "draft" effort currently going on. Otherwise it'd make sense to add things on the other movements (or remove Rice's campaign, but I'm rather annoyed at how much interesting stuff gets deleted so I'd personally rather that it stayed, any rules Wikipedia has notwithstanding.
 * (The whole idea of a political draft is rather silly, based on emotion anyways. Anybody can propose a draft, which is no indication that the candidate will run, though I suppose most people probably would if "drafted." Less indication that the candidate would win, or I'd try to "draft" Weld.) --71.192.117.127 16:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Recent political draft movements
The long paragraph on drafting Elizabeth Warren could be fine on Democracy for America or MoveOn.org, but here I fear you'll run into problems. The election is now ancient history, the next attempt to create some "news" could be an impeachment of Trump. In theory I could already add that as a "fact" somewhere with a "dishonest media" reference, but in practice lobbyists always try to get media attention, mainstream media always tries to sell news, and enwiki should stick to its "no nonsense" attitude. –2A03:2267:0:0:E8E2:DBD3:8133:3506 (talk) 14:20, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
