And just why is it that this fellow has any credibility in any circle at all subsequent to the Tawana Brawley debacle?

SHARPTON FOR PRESIDENT!, NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!

No mention of Hitlery?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Go, Al, Go!!

Both of 'em. The dems worst nightmare.

The fact that Sharpton has moved up since last month suggests he wasn't hurt by the July 23 TV broadcast of 1983 FBI tapes that seem to show him discussing a cocaine deal. If anything, he may have gained visibility.

Hey Hillary! You better think of another way to knock Sharpton out of the race.

[OldFriend]

The question is.......why are there any democrat voters at all? Other than people who aspire only to minimum wage jobs and need the government to give them a 50cent raise every year, no one should even consider voting for ANY democrat candidate.

Sharpton - Tyson

Rev Al is just like X42 - Hypocrisy Personified!

Oh, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let this be true! It would be a nightmare for the Democrats, an ideological bloodbath, and you have to admit, there are few things more entertaining than watching the liberals eat one of their own.

Rev. Al would get the kneejerk black vote, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of middle-class blacks would be so turned off and embarrassed by him that they'd vote Republican. But even if the Rev did corral the black vote, he'd never be a serious player as a candidate for President.

The Democrats will nominate a centrist candidate to run against GWB; Rev. Al will make a bunch of noise about running as an Independent, thus playing "spoiler" to the Democrats, but this will not be sincere.

He will eventually use his black constituency as a bargaining chip with the Democrats in exchange for any manner of backdoor deals he can make, and on election day, he will deliver the liberal black vote to the Democrats.

Business as usual...

Of course, I'm privately hoping I'm wrong, I would REALLY love to see Sharpton as the official Democratic nominee. He would make George McGovern's election debacle pale by comparison.

[eureka!]

GoAlGo. Pretty please....

[Crawdad]

Within 7 days there will be a hit piece in the NYT on the good Rev. Sharpton, making it well apparent that the democratic leadership (read Bill Clinton) believe he may be getting a little too "uppity".

[MadIvan]

I would suggest that his 5% is due to those polled not being able to remember the names of the other Democrat candidates.

Drugs, you know.

I cringe when I recall that hate filled detestable counter inaugural he held in DC while the real President was being sworn in! If ever I saw a hate crime in action, this was it.
Who will be his running mate, Maxine Waters?
Calgon take me away!

Sharpton runs even with House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and 2000 contender Bill Bradley - all at 5 percent - and just 1 point behind Gore's 2000 running mate, Joe Lieberman, at 6.

This is really spooky!
It means that 26% of polled democrats believe that Sharpton, Gephardt, Kerry, Bradly or Lieberman would made an acceptable PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

Beam me up!
Semper Fi

[N. Theknow]

Sharpton runs even with House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and 2000 contender Bill Bradley - all at 5 percent - and just 1 point behind Gore's 2000 running mate, Joe Lieberman, at 6. If I was any of these others and that is the best I could do I would be ashamed to be seen in public. Then again, I am not a Demonrat. These people have no shame.
I would love to be a reporter at a Gephardly, Cash&Kerry or LIEberman interview and ask how they could be tied with or only one point ahead of The Rev. Al.
