Reply #112: If it's about raising money, then support Jerry Lewis for prez [View All]

If all you're interested in is a candidate who can raise money, why not draft Jerry Lewis? He's done a sh!tload of fundraising for MD and would be absolutely fantastic if that's what really matters.

If you're interested in playing the press's (and Dubya's) game of "he who raises the most cash wins", then by all means go ahead.

Just don't be suprised when you come home with a serious case of redass after he hands you the beating you will most assuredly get when playing HIS game by HIS rules.

If you think that your candidate needs to rely on his fundraising skills to get ahead, you're playing the right-wing's game-- and you're playing right into the their hands, too.

You don't need the most money to win. In 1990, Paul Wellstone spent 1/10th of what his opponent did, and he WON. WE can do the same, only if we nominate a REAL Democrat, not just one who uses pro-Democratic soundbites.
