that without the large corporate purse strings of the other candidates, he doesn't have the resources to set up enough campaign offices.

I wonder if some of what you are talking about is the reason why he has a new campaign manager.

Personally, I'm ambivalent about the "have to be busy in Iowa" thing. I understand the reality. I just really don't think it is democratic to allow one state's votes to influence the outcome of an election more than another.

The Democratic Party ought to be democratic, in my opinion.

That issue aside, I'm sure that if he had the dollars, there would be a bigger presence. I'm a huge DK supporter, and I've hardly sent him anything. He got everything I had in '04, and he'll get everything I have now, but what I have now is almost nothing. I wonder if, being a supporter and defender of the "have nots," he gets less $$ from individual donors because they are poorer than those supporting other candidates; that along with the lack of corporate ties may limit his options.

That's a shame, in my opinion.

I guess I'll read the many responses already posted now, lol.
