Nathalie Dupree Write in Campaign in South Carolina

I found this on PoliticalWire, buried in the comments section. I remember seeing her show a few times-- she seems fairly intelligent, and is comfortable in front of the camera (as well as the kitchen). She certainly seems on the level and serious about this. Given the train wreck that Alvin Greene is, and that Demint is the most dangerous US Senator in office right now, I think this deserves some trumpeting.

Even if a write-in campaign is doomed, any show of opposition to Jim Demint is a good idea. I hope some of you agree with this and can help make some noise here.

And now we are three. Everyones first, second and third choice.

So we've seen 3 way match ups. This is the poll I would like to see. The idea would be to measure a candidates total as defined by all their firsts and seconds. Take this total (combined firsts and seconds) see how it shakes out.

Granted this is completely unrepresentative being on Kos, but it might be fun anyway.

I'd love to see this poll taken at a brokered convention.

I'm fighting for Brand Democrat and actual proposals with teeth.

I always liked you better than him. He was charming but careless. You were skilled but more serious. He owed his success to you.

It's funny how perceptions change. The committed idealist who played the game well finds one's shell is conformed to the game. More cautious. Less contentious.

And yet you are anchored. It is your time now, yet you are dependent. You have to collect on that payback to go forward. Or so it seems.

Please. Don't try to equal. Surpass. Do what you do now better than anyone ever has before. You know how it works. You would master it, and history would remember you well.

Look to your heart.

Endorse.

I think this is a simple tactic, but one that bear fruit. Much like republicans refer to the Democratic party as the "democrat" party, all of our discussions should refer to Lieberman as "Lamont's Republican Opponent". Hopefully Lamont would only refer to Lieberman as "My Republican Opponent" on the stump.

Why? As LBJ said, make the bastard deny it. If Joe asks why he is being referring to that way, the answer is "Look who endorsed you, do you reject their endorsements?" If he embraces the endorsement, it becomes Lamont against Bush. If he rejects the endorsement and label (enough and emphatically) Republicans may ask why they are supporting him.

Here's to the defeat of Lamont's Republican Opponent!

I demand my writings be removed from everywhere!

Jesus Christ. It's a forum site-- like Democratic Underground, and many thousands of forums that preserve discussions. Let's not even mention 20 years of Usenet. What a moron. If I write a letter to the editor can I demand to get back all copies of some stupid message I wrote? Can I make them delete it from their digital records or (dating myself) microfilm and microfish?

This guy needs attention like he doesn't need psychological help...

In the hypothetical world, anything can happen. Assume that the 22nd amendment was repealed before the 2008 elections. Whom would you rather see as president, Bill Clinton or Al Gore? Note that I'm not asking who would be most likely to win in the general election, just whom would be the more ideal president.
