Sounds like he's F***ING SERIOUS about wanting to challenge Bush.

Man is he living in a fantasy world or what! If you are farther down the ladder than Al Sharpton, it is time to call it quits.

This really is what he has to do if he wants to win. But 850K won't do it. He needs to be on the air constantly in New Hampshire until election day. He probably needs $3-5 Million to do that. If he is really serious about trying to pull this out, he has to tap into the Heinz money. That's his only chance. This 850K will not be enough. He's got to get on the air NOW, nonstop. He is deluding himself thinking 850K will do it. He needs $5 million.

I thought Dems were against people spending their own money in campaigns?? =o)

BTW- I heard about the ads attacking Dean in Des Moines, but isn;t the Iowa caucus considered a primary by CFR?? Isn't that ad illegal now?? How come this is not mentioned?

The organization pulled their add because of the time limit. I heard that earlier today.

No thread. I just happened to hear it on Fox today. Rush also talked about the ads ending on his radio show.

Now Gallup has JFKerry trailing Al Sharpton! What the f*** happened??

Maybe he could inform the voters of his veteranship in the Vietnam War, as in tell people that he is a Vietnam veteran, and fought during the Vietnam War, commonly known as the conflict in South Asia between the United States and Vietnam, which John Kerry (who looks French btw) took part in. That might just light the spark on his campaign!

These loans are a shell game. The money will get paid back to him through his future political fund-raising. Even if he loses (which he will) he can re-coup later from his senate fund-raising.

Jean F. Cheri has made history in off-loading the first French mortgage loan in America - with the result his sinking (and stinking) presidential campaign is French mortgaged. Not even his mega-fortune wife can help him out of the political basement in which he's mired... behind Fat Al! America has the good fortune of never having its first I ape the French in everything President.

Why is it a loan?

That's why they call it "Federal matching funds." When the campaign ends, bankrupt, the "loan" gets written off on his personal taxes.

BTW, didn't I see that this loser is now behind Al Sharpton in the Demo Derby? If that happened to me, I would take is as a Sign From Above that it was time to fold my tent.

Apparently the wife knows he's a waste of her inherited money.

Are we to feel sorry for him or applaud him? I don't get it.

You're right. The nomination isn't the only thing he is going to lose once 'Sweet Teresa" realizes her chances of being First Lady are out the window.

It's a long way to August, HoHo can still fall apart, and JFK ain't out of the money just yet. If he is still running neck and neck with Sharpton on May day count him out, but there is still the possibility of this long shot coming in.

Thanks. Kerry IS behind Sharpton in a CBS poll of primary districts. Kerry the haughty frenchman, served in Vietnam.
