You know that fella from Vermont who is looking for all the African American vote even though in 12 years as Gov he never had an African American in an important job???? Welllllllllllllllllllll, here is a great way to make up for it! Al Sharpton for VP!!!


Despite his questionable record on race, the Park Avenue Vermonter nabbed 43 percent of the votes in mostly black Washington, even though he never condescended to campaign there. Sharpton had 34 percent, Carol Moseley Braun 12 percent and Rep. Dennis Kucinich 8 percent.

Oops: The other wannabes weren't even on the ballot.

The results show that if plantation overseer Terry McAuliffe hadn't put up Moseley Braun as a straw figure to sabotage Sharpton and dilute black power, the righteous reverend would probably be celebrating today.

Ya gotta feel sorry for Big Al, who, as the Washington Times reported Jan. 8, refused "to entertain any notions of coming in second to national front-runner Howard Dean after the votes are cast."

"Winning and winning is our only barometer in the D.C. primary," Sharpton campaign spokesman Andre Johnson had said.

"This primary will test the rest of the election, because if we can win here and target South Carolina, a win there we will be in a great position to open the eyes of a lot of people."

Instead, McAuliffe and company have one more reason to keep their eyes closed and take the black vote for granted, a presumption that could prove painful later.

Why would any Americans consider voting for a ticket just because of the VP-running mate? That seems awfully stupid! I mean, correct me if I am wrong here, but the VP doesn't freakin do anything! The VP is and always has been the head-cheese's, the el numero uno honcho's lapdog and "yes-man." If Americans vote a ticket just because of the running mate, then they are either (a) dumbarses, or (b) planning on offing the president! :laugh:

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support Al Sharpton as the Democratic candidate for President. :bluethumb:

I do too, Kev! He's the best campaigner, mind up there. And given that whoever gets the nod, be it Sharpton or Dean, Kerry or Gephardt, they will lose. The dems could nominate freaking Jesus Christ and he'd lose. The repugnicans are just too damn strong and too damn rich.
