Arkansas Blog

Well, you could help us all by reporting how much you have donated to candidates.

ARK. BLOG: 0.

Here is my suggestion for campaign finance reform. It's very simple:

All contributors to a campaign committee should be verified as registered voters in the district of the candidate. That would cut out the corporations, the unions, the out-of-state lobbyists, the resident aliens, etc.

What about that $1000 to Hillary's senate race in 2000?

ARK. BLOG: Thought you meant this year. I indeed wrote a check that went to her New York Senate campaign so I could attend an event when she visited LIttle Rock seven years ago. Do I support her this year? Most likely, though I still prefer Obama's message on a number of issues and wish she were a little less cautious.

PS -- I don't think you'll find I"ve ever contributed to a race contested in Arkansas. I suspect you know that.

Huckabee complaining? Color me surprised.

Red, I'm also shocked (shocked!) that Max is supporting progressive candidates. Not that it matters or is anybody's business. I don't see Hussman listing his donations to Tom Tancredo and Lyndon LaRouche on the front page of the Demozette.

Sorry about the gotcha, Max.

I also respect your views with regard to Obama.

Thanks!!!

ARK. BLOG: No gotcha. It was reported at the time. It is public information, readily searchable on any number of data bases.

Wow... the news sure is flying fast today.. At my name strong rumors of Gov. Perry of TX, jumping into the race.

I think Huckabee is suggesting that he has a few donors who would donate a lot more money to him if not for the limits. In the pre-limit days, Eugene McCarthy's 1968 campaign was largely financed by a few wealthy donors who were willing to spend large sums to support their candidate. McCarthy himself has said that he could not have run for president at all under the present campaign finance system and its individual donor limits. (http://www.onenation.org/9909/091599.html). Though I'm sort of ambivalent on the issue, I think McCarthy has a point--campaign finance laws have not lessened the influence of money on politics, and the limits could conceivably work to keep a worthwhile candidate (not Huckabee, mind you) out of a race.

Holy Crappin Bull Shit.......the Huck is all over CNN and MSNBC today.....now that
Brownshirt has dropped out he is the KING OF THE HILL. All us libs might as well sit
down and shut up and wait for the Lord God to come down from heaven to crown His
fair haired boy, that failing, there is always the supreme court, worked in 2000.

lord help me. on tucker carlson they are singing the praises of huck, tucker, buchannan, and somebody else. they say he can't win because of money and staying power but he will hurt guilani. that sounds like second spot guy to me. would he make guilani acceptable to the so-called christains?

The Huck is definitely jonesing for VP. If Rudy Guiliani gets the GOP nod (very likely), the Christian Right will demand that Huckabee be used as a sweetner to keep the Wildmon Gang/Dobson Gang voters from straying to the Constitution Party or some other third party. Unless, the Huck goes over the line in his "humor" (he's come *very* close to the edge) or Romney gets the nomination.

I have no use for that whole bunch of GOP ***hats.
