WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Rev. Al Sharpton is officially a candidate for the Democratic presidencial nomination, and will file campaign financial documents with the Federal Election Commission on Monday, his campaign manager said Tuesday.

Questions surfaced last week over the official status of the New York-based activist, after he was the only one of nine people vying for the nomination not to file financial disclosure forms with the FEC.

Sharpton had argued that he wasn't obligated to file disclosure forms because he was still "in the late stages" of exploring a possible run for the presidency.

Anything that divides the Democraps and lessens the chances of Brunhillary....

The reverend is the only former resident of the BROOKLYN HOUSE OF DETENTION to run for the White House.

This son of Brooklyn is so proud! :)

Now, with Big Rev Al in the race....the DNC Presidential campaign will be interesting.

The Dems are in total Squirm Mode right now. Al will expose all the Dems hypocrasy (or is that hypocracy?)

Oh I gotta get some mroe of these bumperstickers to start posting em up in NYC. The libs will go bananas when theys ee them.

[headsonpikes]

Go, Al, Go!

[sit-rep]

This guy does not have a snow ball's chance in hell...

If he gets the black vote, that is still only 20%... What a waste of time and money.

[ewing]

Al ain't going to file anything until he can stop passing the plate and divert it to his uses.. I would wait for this to happen.

In the meantime-give em heck Al!

[NeoCaveman]

Oh yeah! It's happening people!

Go Al Go!

Yeah a few donations to states where he or Nader Raider can strip votes from the Rats is a plan.

We need to support him in every primary like the rats supported McAinal in 2000.

[zingzang]

Awesome! Let's see the dems try to discredit this crackpot while not earning the label of "racist demagogue" from their own liberal friends. Candidates like this are just what they need -- someone to cause more division within their own ranks. Let the back biting begin!!

[HitmanLV]

Al will one day be mayor of NYC.

[Grampa Dave]

We can only hope that he gets 50% of the Black Votes and has mass voter fraud for him. Every real vote for him and fraudulent vote for him makes our job easier in those states.
