If you want a choice after today, send money to other campaigns.
If your state's primary or caucus doesn't take place until later, like mine, and if you don't support the current front-runner, you can help keep your primary/caucus meaningful by donating to the other candidates' campaigns. I just did so today--- $50 to Edwards and $50 to Clark.

I would like my state's primary to be more than window-dressing, and if you would like your state's primary to count, SEND MONEY to everyone who does not 'win big' today; alternatively, consider sending money to someone besides the front-runner who did win today, or who came in a close second

PRESERVE YOUR FRANCHISE!

2. That is a good idea.
The more the merrier for as long as they can run and slam the Bush* maladministration.

19. I think Clark has a better chance of beating *
But I'll throw $25 to Edwards too. Sent $75 to Clark earlier in the day and $25 to Sharpton. While I'm at it I'll Send Clark another $25. It's gonna be an expensive few weeks - I guess I'll be doin' 'Two Buck Chuck' for the rest of the month (or two). Have to skip the French stuff, and the Chilean, and the South Australian............ Oh Well, good investment!

9. Good idea, Padraig
and it's nice to see you again. I dropped $100 on Dean's Come Back Bat last week. I probably can't donate to Edwards until after the TN & VA primaries (being a Clark supporter). If Clark pulls out, then Edwards will get a few bucks.

I agree that the longer the contest remains open, the better it is for the Democrats -- enthusiasm, media coverage and much Bush bashing. That said, I have no strong objections to John Kerry either.

13. Reasons to donate to others.
Keep others in the race as Kerry could take a fall/hit and there should be someone in the wings to pick up the pieces.

By having a longer horserace we Democrats can have more time to monopolize the media attention and blast Bush. As soon as the race is over the media will go back to Bush propaganda 24/7.

15. heh heh
your over exaggeration indicates something that I suspect was unintended.

Almost as revealing as a freudian slip.
