People will say that I'm throwing the money away, because he's unelectable. Those people are doing the same kind of group-speak runaround that Fox News does with the "Some people say". I don't care what those people say. And it made me feel good doing what I can to help the guy.

1. Good for you, and you're right
I don't believe anyone is really unelectable. The only candidate we have that might come close is Hillary Clinton (only because of the wingnut fanaticism), and she's not unelectable. If we can really get together behind the people we do like, maybe we can surprise the "more wise" who say people are unelectable and elect someone.

2. Yep
They say height matters. Kerry just barely squeaked by with a win. I think this election year, after so much Bush, this is Dennis's best chance.

3. If you think about it, height kind of worked against Kerry
Remember the endless parade of "Lurch" jokes?

5. True enough
It's sad that this country is so shallow and stupid. Look at Bush.

Hey, here's a guy you'll want to have a beer with. ( He doesn't drink )
Hey, here's a guy who's sociable and nice to commoners like you ( and uses a hand sanitizer to get the smell of non-privileged off his palms )
Hey, here's a guy who's tough on defense ( and let's a 5 time draft dodger hire himself )
