Good news--I hope. Maybe Karl Rove should phone some of these guys and tell them that if they donate to Gray Davis the White House will not be terribly pleased with them next time they need a favor. That wouldn't be very nice, but I don't know how else to deal with "Mr. Vengeance" or "Mr. Pay to Play," as they call him.
Wouldn't some of this stuff make pretty good campaign ads? There's a new guy in town, and there will be a shootout at high noon against the Godfather and his Enforcers?

Oh, I'm sorry! I did a search on News/Activism but not on Campaign 2002, so I did not see your post. Thank you for pointing out the duplicate post.
