The whiney port siders over at MoveOn.org are just bursting with plans. This time it's for an internet primary (for the Democrat party, natch). Howard Dean is favored (ignore the allegations of skulduggery), but I signed up anyhow for this heartwarming endeavor.
Hmmm, which wingnut should I choose? The Rev. Al is a sentimental favorite, but Dennis Kucinich is nicely bizarre, and Carol Moseley Braun upholds time honored Democrat traditions - at least the ones involving cash. Then there's the formerly Irish Senator John Kerry who looks French. Didja know he served in Vietnam? It's so hard to decide!
Hey, you can participate too!
Dear friend,Since a "voice" merely consists of a valid email address to pad the MoveOn.org fundraising mailing list, this ought to be real scientific.
I'm writing to ask you to take part in MoveOn.org's
presidential primary. Too often, the real choices in
presidential nomination processes are made long before
the real primaries. Pundits, pollsters and big donors
shouldn't be the only voices that count at this early
and important stage of the process.
MoveOn's primary will give at least 1.4 million people
the opportunity to make their voices heard. You can be
one of them by registering to vote in the MoveOn Primary

Thanks.
Oh, and when you hear about the "Silicon Valley entrepeneurs" who are behind MoveOn.org, recall that their contribution to technology was a flying toaster screen saver and a computer quiz game called "You Don't Know Jack". Seems appropriate.
