Traditionally Digg hasn’t been centered around politics but the upcoming page on Saturday May 5th about 9am EST showed a pretty strong political bias.

Could be it’s what’s on everybody’s mind, but I doubt it. It could be a whole bunch of people just figured out how easy it is to manipulate Digg with the bury feature, eliminating almost every non political story that’s on deck.
Interesting times ahead for the Diggnation …

Or as I might have heard…
It could also be that Ron Paul, Mike Gravel (et al) and their campaign staffs are leveraging all their little interns and digging like crazy.
oh the irony of knowing my tax dollars are being spent paying interns to spam digg votes
Buddy, lay off the digg. We don’t care. All you do is rehash digg stories or talk about it lately.
If you had the nerve to sign your own name instead of fake@fake I might pay attention to you.
OT
what program are you using to take full page screen shots?

Yeah, this whole thing seems fishy, but there is nothing you can do. Well, you could let if bother you if Digg actually would be a swing vote haven.
Nice find. Ron Paul seems very popular…
Whats up with the “real email” requirements? There is always a small chance that the email entered is fake.
But that that technology is surely in the hands of only the elite black hatters.
@Gray: If they’re campaign interns, then our tax dollars aren’t being spent.
@Josh: Ron Paul isn’t particularly popular, but he does have an enthusiastic fan base on the internet. (see here under the “special message”)
