2. Good for him!

Especially since most 18-24 year olds are liberals, as are most African Americans, both groups to which he appeals. Let him be as non-partisan as possible!!

3. Get out the vote efforts is always partisan

because only one party benefits when more people vote: the Democratic party.

4. P Diddy

is a big fan of Al sharpton. So thats good for us

5. "Combs said his was a nonpartisan effort, but

many advisers are Democrats, including political guru James Carville, a key strategist for former President Bill Clinton."

Uh, the slogan is "Vote Or Die"--if that's not a veiled reference to the Bush draft, it should be. I'm sure Combs has figured out that young people who are wearing military uniforms and ducking bullets overseas aren't going to be particularly interested in buying his fashions or music.

8. Non partisan? Really?

I bet he is partisan, but not saying so. My reasoning is that we democrats are doing everything in our power to be sure everyone gets out and votes. The republicans are doing everything in their power to deny people the right and to persuade people not to vote.

Anyway, Go P. Diddy! :kick:
