[edit] Tables
To keep this article similar to other articles about American Governor elections, we should not include tables under the candidate section. Also all the information can be found in the candidate pages. - Comedy240 21:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. I've modeled these tables after the ones used on the Official and potential 2008 United States presidential election Democratic candidates page. This format provides more information than the previous format. It provides photos of candidates, when available. It also provides a brief biographical summary of the candidates and their campaigns. Some of the more minor candidates don't have their own pages, and frankly don't necessarily deserve their own pages at this point. For these candidates, there's no other place to put this information yet. This new format provides a summary of all the candidates in one place, which is far more convenient than having to look at articles and stubs for what may very well eventually become at least a dozen candidates. If the reader wants more detail, they can go to the candidate articles. Just because other gubernatorial election articles don't use this format doesn't negate its usefulness. To my mind, increased information and ease of use wins out over uniformity. - Praxedis G 21:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

- What about a compromise, get rid of the bad tables and pictures, but keep the information. That way its easy to read and simple and better looking. - Comedy240 21:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

- That sounds like a reasonable compromise to me. I'll change it now. Sorry about the last revert. It seems like we keep posting simultaneously. Praxedis G 21:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

- I'm also putting the tables back; I don't think we should be having a revert war until we've resolved this issue...... - Praxedis G 21:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Closed primary congressional races start in 2007, not 2008.
The law that made congressional elections take place in a closed election was effective in January of 2007. The next "regularly scheduled election" for Congress wont take place until 2008. However, if a seat becomes open for any reason, there could be a special election in 2007. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DanielZimmerman (talk • contribs) 13:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
