30. Is it normal for a candidate involved in their own race
to campaign in someone else's race? I can understand Kerry and Edwards campaigning for Lamont, since neither is involved in a campaign this election cycle - but Clinton is, so I'm not convinced that this is a valid criticism from Ms. Huffington. Does anyone know if this is normal for a candidate to campaign in someone else's race? I really would be interested to know.


-------------------


One other point - that relates to Ms Huffington - as far as I know, she's not even registered in the Democratic Party. She didn't run as a Democrat in the CA governor's race.... she did rescind her party affiliation with the Republicans, but I'm not sure why the Democratic Party, or it's members, should listen to her when it comes to campaign strategy.
