Kucinich has raised $1,5 Mill. more than Larouche.
The question is, where is Larouche getting that money from?

George W. Bush (R)
$185,074,755

John Kerry (D)
$85,698,045

Dennis Kucinich (D)
$10,626,758

Lyndon H. Larouche Jr (D)
$9,058,204

Ralph Nader (3)
$1,057,337

Al Sharpton (D)
$603,252

4. Only 5000 people donating $2000...
...would be needed to pull this off. I'm pretty sure he's got more than that. And yes, I think a lot of people in his organization would max out at two grand.

5. LaRouche has a booth set up outside of
every public office in Houston(DMVs and such) I don't know much about him, but apparently, he's a kook.

6. His cult followers
are relentless (and ass holes as well). They bother people at just about every college and university out there. They gather emails and phone numbers and don't stop bothering people.

Plus, his own cult followers have probably poured millions into his campaign.

7. Yup. If there's a heckler when a Democrat's speaking
it's probably a Larouche fan.

I think it's the need to be anti-establishment gone amuck.

8. Begging for it
Every once in a while, you will see a LaRouche support out on the street with a tin can, and some people just reflexively give.
