I had to look it up: LaRouche ballot status

My guess is there's plenty of money to be made even being a losing candidate. Which probably does explain Sharpton.

And after carefully scouring Article II, the Constitution doesn't really forbid someone who's certifiably insane from running this country.

So that's more good news for you, Governor Dean!

Ha!

Bwaaaahahahahahaha!

Best line in the screed.

Actually LaRouche is ahead of Al, Carol and perhaps one other dwarf in fund-raising to date, or at least was so reported a month or two ago. His supporters heckling made for the most interesting dwarf debate last fall.

I'm totaly mystified by the Laruche people... they have seemingly normal looking young men and women with tables on a lot of college campuses. Where do they come from? Why do they do it? Where does all the money they raise (apparently a couple mil a year) go?

[cake_crumb]

LOL! Heck, I thought LaRouche was in a mental hospital, prison or Paris. IMO, they do it for for the money : campaign donations, talk shows, op/eds and book deals...and free dinners...and all the perks that come from creatively cooking the campaign books.

[weegee]

Lyndon LaRouche is the DEMOCRAT candidate that embarasses the Democrats. State parties will actually deny him a place on the primary ballot even when he has the requisite number of signatures (Tennessee was such a state in 2000).

Delegates who were supporters were locked out of the 1992 convention (too crowded, yet oddly enough there was enough room for the reporters covering the event).

What does this say that Al Sharpton, Kooky Clark, et al are "serious" contenders while Lyndon LaRouche is the only one who embarasses the Democrats? Dean, Clark, and others are espousing antiBush theories to rival Mr. LaRouche's own crackpot ideas.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

LaRouchies... the conspiracy nuts' conspiracy nuts.

[rockrr]

I believe I read somewhere that LaRouche had qualified for the ballot in Rhode Island, but John Edwards had missed the mark (too many disqualified signatures!)?!

'Tis truly a wonderful time to be a Republican (wish I could say the same for conservatives)

[Southack]

"I mean, let's say you're a fringe presidential candidate -- so below the radar you're making Dennis Kucinich look like an unstoppable juggernaut."

That wouldn't be LaRouche.

LaRouche has out raised Kucinich in campaign funds for this election. In fact, LaRouche (when the leftists permit his name to be mentioned) outpolls Kucinich, Sharpton, Mosely-Braun and others in several states...and he's raised more money than any of them.

Quite a feat for a guy that isn't permitted to have his name uttered on national TV (they don't dare call him one of the "9" Democratic Party candidates).

Media bias?! Can you imagine how much press coverage a *Republican* crackpot would get if he/she managed to crack into the top half of fundraising and polling, nationally?!
