In the Presidential Sweepstakes we have just gotten a notice. Get Fucking Ready. The 1600 Crew is.
President Bush's reelection team, anticipating another close election, has begun to assemble one of the largest grass-roots organizations of any modern presidential campaign, using enormous financial resources and lack of primary opposition to seize an early advantage over the Democrats in the battle to mobilize voters in 2004.
...
Organization alone cannot elect Bush to a second term. Given the reality that the president's campaign team cannot control such potentially decisive factors as the economy or events in Iraq, officials are determined to maximize their advantage in areas they can control. Rarely has a reelection committee begun organizing so early or intensively -- or with the kind of determination to hold state party and campaign officials, and their volunteers, accountable for meeting the goals of the Bush team.
I don't care what the sleepy media say...it's abundantly clear that the 1600 Crew will lie, cheat and steal to retain power. The question is, do we let them? It's time for the weaker candidates in our sweepstakes to start cutting deals for whatever with the DNC and getting aligned behind one or two major candidates who have a shot. So who's the first to go...Lieber-nothing or Moseley-Braun? I vote Joe off the Island right now...he offers nothing; had Gore not plucked him from relative Senate obscurity four years ago, no one would know him and he's wayyyyy to much of an-almost republican about some things for me...buh-bye Joe.

Will Bush's "grass roots" take hold in the sands of Iraq, even with all the fertilizer that the RNC will provide? Will the resulting crop help Rush keep clean?

I guess my FIRST vote would be for Lieberman, but we might-as-well go for one of the "no change this time, folks" candidates, like Sharpton, Kucinich, Braun.
We are just being nice in choosing Lieberman first.
