1. Tasini will be a memory within a week.
I find the entire Tasini campaign funny. He has 0% chance of winning. He'll be lucky to get 20%. He can't even raise $200,000 in the state of NY. But he has a right to run, so why not.

2. He has somthing to say. He's running on principle.
It's not a joke. Clinton voted for the war, she continues to support the war, she's wrong on many other issues, and she needs to be held to account.

3. What isn't funny is
the difference on their stance on the issues. People are under the impression that Hillary is a liberal but she isn't. She is no Leiberman, she's a smart cookie and wouldn't make the mistakes that he made but no way do I agree with her stance on many issues particulary healthcare, the war and her corporate affiliations (where her money comes from). Take a look at Tasini's positions in comparison, it isn't funny any more:

I also found it quite telling that the NYTimes endorsement of her states that Tasini would have trouble getting along in a conservative Senate. Isn't that the idea, to not fall in line and make deals with the GOP that won't benefit us, the people?

Win or lose he has a message and I couldn't agree with him more.

6. Yeah, its funny that you need to have corporations in your pocket
to get elected. Or be wealthy. Vision, good ideas, and the intention of actually serving the people who elect you don't matter. I think that's a riot.

Listen to my round, resounding laughter as I chuckle over the fact that a good candidate can't run a real challenge against an incumbent who's taking money from Murdoch because he isn't a millionaire like Ned Lamont.

Tee. Hee. Hee.

11. Good candidate?
A good candidate can fund raise. Tasini couldn't do that, he admitted it himself that he is a terrible fundraiser.

You want to know what the big story on his blog was before NY1 handed him a gift a silver platter? The fact that he changed to less dorky glasses at the urging of his staff.

He's a good man but he was a terrible candidate.

12. "A good candidate can raise funds"
i.e., a good candidate has corporations in its pocket.

I think that's a shame.

13. No.
If you can only raise $100K(that's what he had prior to the NY1 story hitting) in one of the richest states in the union as the anti-war candidate after 9 months of campaigning then you are a bad candidate.

Do you think Dean (a fantastic fundraiser) was a tool of corporations?

4. The guy's a REAL Democrat.
I like what he says and how he says it.

And from what I know about him, he's walked the walk.

Thanks for the heads-up, Stephanie.

Good luck with your DLC.

9. Didn't ask anything. Said what I thought.
As for Hillary, I used to like her. So far, she's all for war and Bush and all that. That's all puke NAZI shit.
