Dean brings back the bat

The Dean blog has got the bat up again. Looking for $1.5 million between now and Dec 31 to close out the quarter.

And they're still recruiting for people to get their little bodies to Iowa. (You don't have to live there--they can only ask so much--just campaign for a weekend.)

I've been meaning to post about my latest intentions on the Dean campaign, but I've just been freaking exhausted. One day this week. Maybe Christmas. I can sneak away from the little rugrats and post.

Nader steps aside

Praise Jesus! Ralph Nader will not run as the Green candidate in 2004.

But oddly, he's hanging on to the option of running as an independent:

Dec. 23, 2003  |  WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ralph Nader, the third-party candidate viewed by many Democrats as the spoiler of the 2000 election for taking votes away from Al Gore, has decided not to run on the Green Party ticket next year, a party spokesman said Tuesday.

Nader, who garnered nearly 3 percent of the national vote in the last presidential election, has not ruled out running for president as an independent and plans to make a decision by January.

That's a lot less dangerous, though, and the Greens might still play it even safer on spoiling:

But [Scott] McLarty [a Green Party spokesman.] said Tuesday it would be hard for Nader to get his name on the ballot in all states.

"He doesn't have the infrastructure to do that," he said.

The Green Party is debating whether to take a nominee on a full state-by-state campaign or to adopt a "safe state" strategy. Under that method, the party would mostly avoid states up for grabs, in order not to jeopardize the Democratic candidate's chances against President Bush.

Now if we can just get assholes like Joe Lieberman to step aside. Or at least quit needlessly ripping on the likely nominee. It's over, Joe, let it go gracefully. You whiny, sanctimonious hypocrite.
