If he runs it'll help divide the Dems. I'm hoping he decides to do it.

This is from The Onion, right?

[freebilly]

This certainly adds "gravit-ass" to the Democrat Ticket...

The dems have already written off 2004. It is just going to be a party buider for them.

Hillary admitted as much by holding out for 2008. If the dems planned on winning 2004, she would not have made the call. Or, maybe she is just stupid.

Anyway, bring it on AL!

The Rev. Al Sharpton announced Thursday he would step down as president of the civil rights organization he founded to explore a bid for the presidency in 2004.

If he thinks the blue collar unionized democrats will vote for him he is sorely mistaken. You want racism? It is living and breathing there whether any of them want to admit it. I live in a blue collar town, been to a few of the bars and chatted with some of those workers and watched how upset they got when a black man came into the bar and hit on a white woman.

Not saying it is right, just pointing out the facts as I have seen them. Whites in this country distrust the motives of black politicians, and so do latinos. Many may never voice it, but I guarantee it exists. Funny thing too, most those of a racist mentally I have met have all been democrats (and I know one who is an elected dem too that feels that way).

Maybe people would trust them if race was not an issue all the time. I could care less about race, but people like sharpton make it their whole life's work to focus on it.

Sharpton just uses this as a form of extortion...ala jessie jerkson.

[A CA Guy]

He'll help drag the Democrats way left.
Plus he'll bring his racism into the campaign.

Sharpton made the announcement at his 48th birthday celebration, attended by community, political and religious leaders, at Caanan Baptist Church of Christ, where National Action Network Chairman Wyatt Tee Walker is pastor.

That silence from the left about announcing this at a church is deafining.

[Prince Caspian]

Run Al run!

[exnavy]

Best thing that could happen to the republicans is for Big Al to run.

Divine help for BUSH 2004.....

Oh my Goodness!! Sounds like albore's gonna have some real competition!

Sharpton, who has unsuccessfully run for mayor and the U.S. Senate...

I suppose some people never learn.

This is not a joke - Sharpton is part of the Dems (read Hillary's) strategy to stir up trouble in Florida and Missouri to camouflage the massive voter fraud that will need to occur in order for the Dems to win the next Presidential election. IMHO the voting machine problems are not due to idiots, but are created intentionally in order to divert attention away from the real fact that the Dems are stuffing the ballot boxes.

He'll help drag the Democrats way left.
Plus he'll bring his racism into the campaign.

You wanna bet the press won't call him on his racist past. Nobody will mention Twanna Banana, "White Interlopers", and the fire at Freddy's Dept Store. Nevermind the pogram at Crown Heights that the hair straightener king helped foment.

[NautiNurse]

Has Sharpton confirmed whether he would run as a 'Rat?

[anniegetyourgun]

Lib/dems are some of the most racist people walking the earth.
