Well, it was said that the GOP backed Dean as well. And when the racist SD suddenly got a huge, anonymous, contribution to finance their referendum campaign in Sweden, a lot of us suspected the yes-side to be behind it. It's a good move, the problem is that it looks really bad if it gets out.

     My friend's dad  is a staunch republican, and decided to vote for Sharpton in last week's primary to show his anger for the democratic party. He was one of Sharpton's 347 or so votes.

Fact: Sharpton lost to Gephardt in NH!

He and Kucinich would be doing well if debate performances mattered.  They sound good until you actually listen to what they are saying.

My friend and I were joking, and I said to her that we should both go down and vote for Sharpton in our Primary.  lol, couldn't you just see that??  2 votes for Sharpton from Idaho.

That would be even more pathetic than his support in NH, which could have been worse actually. He doesn't campaign outside of Black America unless he goes to a debate.

I went to the NH debate 2 weeks ago, and went to the spin room afterwards. I got to interview Paul Beggala, catch a picture of Joe Trippi, and view the remains of Dennis Kucinich's eyebrows.

I tried half-heartedly to ask Al Sharpton a question on his route out of the gym. I was beaten by a reporter from a German radio station and another guy. He asked him "Who do you think will win the superbowl." Sharpton sounded determined and would not name a team. The way he avoided answering this was long and funny (in the sad Al Sharpton way). But walking behind this guy, I realized he is really big.

I wish we allowed anonymous contributions in the US.

Hm, that might be the 2nd issue I know off where Sweden could be said to be to the right of the US. I try to savour those, lol.

I think it's bad with anonymous contributions, b/c political parties shoud stand up for their contributors so to speak.
