Should there be a GDP-like forum in DU3 and is the Barack Obama Group an acceptable replacement?

Poll question: Should there be a GDP-like forum in DU3 and is the Barack Obama Group an acceptable replacement?

Should the Barack Obama Group be used as a replacement given DU3's enhanced moderation features?

The DU2 Barack Obama Group hasn't had a post in over a month (similar Democratic Party forums about the same low usage level):

It's current forum rules per Skinner:

The mission of the Barack Obama Group is to discuss information and news about the life, career, accomplishments, and presidency of Barack Obama; to provide a haven for those members of Democratic Underground who support the president and his policies; to discuss President Obama's policy positions, speeches, interviews, and other public appearances; to discuss President Obama's political campaigns; and to discuss the causes which President Obama has championed, including health care reform and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Those who have a generally negative view of President Obama and his administration, support his defeat in the 2012 presidential election (in primaries or the general election), or who are generally supportive of those who do, are not welcome in the Barack Obama Group.

GDP has no stated additional rules.
