I'm not convinced of MoveOn's effectiveness yet. They talk a big game but what have they produced? Howard Dean was their man. The MoveOn members had a faux-primary in summer of 2003 and Dean won easily. That's who they would have picked to run if they had to have picked anyone. Look where he is now.

Think about that big video contest they had "Bush in 30 Seconds". All the hoopla that went into it. All the entrants. Then Howard Dean goes 'Yaaaarrrggggghhhh!' Within two days you had MP3s of Dean's scream being parodied. All that work with the video contest didn't get Howard anywhere. In two days time, he managed to cancel that out.

(By the way, this article makes it sound like those two Hitler videos were 'just two of 1500'. Not true. They were finalists. MoveOn yanked them because of the controversy. While true that MoveOn didn't create the ads or pay for them to be created, the selection process was automated. Those two ads were chosen by the thousands of voters and made it to the finalists list as a result. It doesn't really matter now, they got yanked, but nobody has ever made them come clean on this.)

They've got that big sugar daddy, George Soros backing them up- they should've made a bigger splash by now.

Drudge is a one man machine. He's got a single HTML document for a website and he does more damage on a daily basis than MoveOn has done for this entire race.

One of our best hopes is Fox News that fairly covers both sides of the campaign.

CNN and others will run the moveon.org propaganda. And how nice for them to get paid for the LIBERAL advocacy they so regularly do for free.

We don't have an equivalent, because we don't have Hollywood celebrities with cash to throw away giving us any.

When you make a contribution to a political organization (moveon.dork for example) on the net with a credit card for 1 penny.

How much does it cost per transaction to moveon.dork???

Is it a $1.00 charge to moveon or what?? Does anyone know??
