Now if he had this at a hotel I'm sure he would have had a full house.

“It was wonderfully successful and gave the governor a chance to really listen to what people had to say."

One does tend to get the "chance to really listen" when you're nearly one-to-one, LOL.

I think she just goes by Barbara Lee. But I thought she lived on the other coast.

When I think about the DNC these days, and read pieces like this and today's posted article about the Dems' fundraising falling far behind the Republicans' I picture the dark tower collapsing at the end of Return of the King, to Howard Shore's triumphant score.

[Txsleuth]

LOL

I bet the reason they didn't show up is because they have been told to give their money directly to Hillary...

I seem to remember a thread a few days ago, that was about how FAST and how MUCH money that Hillary has "raised" in the last couple of months....

I was playing HALO2 with my boys the other day, when one of the marines in the game was attacked by an alien. I kid you not, but the Marine screamed the Howard Dean screem. AIIIEEYYYYYEEAAGGHHHH!!!!!! They put the sound from the scream into the game. My son and I (also a freeper) died laughing at their ingenuity.

Carl Spielvogel is on the board of one of the world's largest investment funds and his wife is maybe the most prominent activists/fundraisers in the Hamptons.

This is a huge disappointment for the Bikepathian Prophet.

Bob Zimmerman?
Do you mean the one and only Shabtai Zisel ben Avraham v'Rachel Riva?

Why doesn't Dean just take is perscriptions forms with him and write one ot more for each person with a medical problem who writes a check? He can't have an ethical problem with that. He doesn't have an ethical problem with anything, he's a dem.

That's OK DNC. The grassroots will come through for you! They love Dean. You don't need them rich elitist types. Dean's doing just fine. :)

Strategic error...... he should have held it in August when everybody is there..

I'm not Jewish, but friends and business associates are, so I've been to Temple for weddings, funerals, Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs... which leads me to this question: what the heck is that square thing growing out of his forehead, like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey?

[GOPJ]

You nailed it:

I bet the reason they didn't show up is because they have been told to give their money directly to Hillary...

[SandRat]

Ain't it great!
