Not enough folks to have Gephardt meetup meet
Mon Jul 07 2003 18:33:31 ET
Online supporters of Democratic presidential hopeful Dick Gephardt appear to have trouble organizing, recent email exchanges reveal.
Campaigns have used the grassroots website meetup.com to encourage supporters to get together in their cities and plan campaign activities. But Gephardt, it appears, will have to fall back on more traditional get-out-the vote strategies:
From: Gephardt in 2004 Meetup
To:
Subject: Your Gephardt in 2004 Meetup is Cancelled
Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2003 18:08:35 -0400 (EDT)
Important
=================================================================
Unfortunately, less than 5 people confirmed that they'd attend the Washington, DC Gephardt in 2004 Meetup, so this month's Meetup is CANCELLED. (People prefer Meetups when at least 5 people confirm.) Help make it happen next month! See below.

Sounds just as important as National Head Lice Day.
... Maybe because no one cares ? ... ;->
Gephardt's got a tough row to hoe - he can't be heard above the Democratic din unless he becomes shrill and loud - and he knows that won't sell.
Tee hee.
