I donated money but don't show up.

You have to give more than $200, I think.

Magic Johnson believes in veteranosity. (No word if he believes in clutch.)

There's a restraining order to keep from embarrassing Joe Biden donors RoffLES.

How old is that pic? I think I heard his daughter is running his campaign.

The picture is pretty old. And Sarah is directing the filed operation in Iowa, I believe. Huckabee has recently been able to hire Ed Rollins.

Thanks, I thought I heard something about that. Maybe it was here.

Heh ... Andy Reid gave $2300 to Rommney. Bill Giles and Alexander Buck are a republican donating machine.

See this Mrs Vox? This is why matching clothes is a bad idea.

(she doesn't read these threads anyway)

Oh, this I needed to know. As if I didn't hate Clueless Bill and the Buckers enough.

Andy representing for his Mormon bro, much as I loathe the Mittster, I can't get worked up about that. It's like me giving $35 yesterday to my former grad school dean who's running for Congress in Virginia.

I'm pretty sure Bill Giles has given to local Democrats in the past. But I think those were mayoral candidates. Maybe he felt there was no point backing a Republican in Philadelphia.

what's the point of that picture?

It was a Christmas card.

Do two polls make a trend? Rasmussen has Huckabee up 28-27 down from his 39-23 lead a week ago.

That’s when the other candidates for the GOP nomination began pushing back, hard. Over the past week, Iowa voters have learned a lot about Mike Huckabee and not all of it has been flattering. Favorable opinions of Huckabee have dropped from 81% to 67% over the past week and the Huckabee tide has receded a bit. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Iowa’s Likely Caucus Participants shows that Huckabee and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are now essentially tied for the lead in the state that will vote first in 2008.

It’s now Huckabee 28%, Romney 27%, and the man endorsed by the Des Moines Register, John McCain, in third at 14%. No other Republican candidate reaches double digits. Before the attacks on Huckabee’s record began to have an impact, the former Arkansas Governor enjoyed a double digit lead in the previous Rasmussen Reports poll. The current results place Huckabee at the same level of support that he had in late November, when he first moved ahead of Romney.

May your fall be swift and irreversible, formerly fat governor depicted in the pictures above.

Aren't there people in Venezuela who could use that money Chavez is spending on these commercials I watch every night during Jeopardy?

Are these like 2:00 long Citgo commercials with Joe Kennedy national buys, or are they just on here in DC?

Wow--they're still running those. "Our friends in Venezuela"? I remember the first time I saw that, thinking, "OK, Joe's not going back into politics." Dumbass.

I think Bakestar founded, but I quickly joined, "The Holy Order of Lefty Phillies Phans Who Detest Hugo Chavez."
