It's bound to psych out more than a few Bush supporters.

PLEASE RECOMMEND! Success depends on getting enough Kossacks to participate, and that only happens when this list makes it to the recommended diaries. Thank you.
For those of who aren't familiar with what we're doing, here's a recap of the idea: we can raise visibility and longevity of certain stories and photos on Yahoo by rating them. I've been compiling lists each day of stories and photos that deserve attention. I've made it easy to reach the stories and photos by providing links. Stories to rate up link directly to a form that allows you to e-mail the story or photo (to yourself or a friend), and stories to rate down link directly to a rating of one.
Sunday's list and more explanation below the fold....
Rating Things Up
We've found that linking directly to the e-mail links for stories and photos that we want to rate up is very effective. It's hard to keep stories and photos popular over time with ratings alone, because eventually negative votes from the Freepers can bring even the best things down. However, a story or photo can stay on top if it is e-mailed in sufficient quantities.
IMPORTANT: after you've sent an e-mail (and you can send it to yourself if you don't want to fill your friends mailboxes), please click on the link to go back to the story or photo and rate it as well. This is important, because things are judged popular at Yahoo based on 1) how many times they're e-mailed, 2) how many times they're viewed, and 3) how high their rating is.
Rating Things Down
We link directly to the "1" rating for things we want to rate down. There is a link on the page if you want to go back and see the article or story, however, if you view it, that's another bump to its popularity under the page view criteria, so be warned. <g> The reasons for linking directly to the rating rather than the story is 1) fewer page views which keeps our viewing the pages from actually bumping the story or photo back up the food chain, 2) these links can't be hijacked by real Freepers, and 3) hopefully it saves you time.
VERY IMPORTANT: Again, please recommend this diary. We want lots of Kossacks rating, so please help keep the list where they can find it. Thanks!
All links open in a separate window for your convenience.
NOTE: Yahoo seems to lock out people from e-mail links if they have e-mailed more than a certain number of times. If you get an error that says one or all of the e-mail links are unavailable, that's the reason. Best solution is to wait a while, half to one hour and try again. Thanks!
