Of course. However AFD structure limits it to a degree since the
person is at most your oponent for 5 days. Straw polls on articles can
define the sides for months and while it is posible to overturn an
intial majority it is a pain in the neck to do takes ages. Far better
to work under conditons were no one has formaly defined their
position. Of course once someone has started a poll they are a pain to
stop.
