Why don't Democrats sponsor a Nascar racer?
Why do we have to let the Republicans have everything? Nascar is important to a lot of people, so why not put our name on the hood? There must a Democrat in there somewhere--and just think of the publicity if he won.

6. Dean people listen up...
You wonder why Dean is not in the media like before?

Well first, he is not the top winner (the media wants to defeat for Bush). Second, he like Kucinich said they would break up the media giants and allow more voices, etc.

To every campaign Democratic candidate director...We have learned from this have we not? Don't go after the media during the campaign.

TV and radio wouldn't exist without tax payer dollars to support it's creation. We pay for the airways and research and then they take it away for their own control and profit. It's ours guys. You can't have it.

9. Sorry, you have to subscribe
In essence MM said he escorted Big Dog around garage during 1992 campaign. Other drivers not thrilled. MM says his father was a Clinton fan, did great things for Arkansas. MM goes on to say fools think good under Big Dog was good luck and bad under * was bad luck. "At least the budget got balanced when Clinton was in there."

Better luck next time, Mark. Keep that Viagra car coming!
