1. Moveon.org has already addressed this
There's nothing here.

And the best way to find out? See if any other news sources is running the story.

If not, Drudge is trolling.

2. This is bull $h!t
I heard about that donation fundraising in Scandanavia. They wanted everyone from Europe to donate one dollar. However, MoveOn turned down the donations because of our country's election laws.

3. Yeah, right, Matt...
... never forget this is the same discredited pseudojournalist who claimed falsely that Sidney Blumenthal beat his wife and that Clinton fathered that "love child" with a hooker that turned out not to be his.

5. If you're gay and don't want to be outed, stay away from Drudge
He outed Andrew Sullivan and several other gays who wanted to stay under the GOP radar.

Andrew considered Drudge a friend, and Drudge ratted him out.

7. Interesting tid-bit
My wife who is a Japanese national told me that a lot of anti-war Japanese folks are buying multiple copies of Dennis Kucinich's book so he gets more money for his campaign.
Maybe the Scandanavians could do the same for the candidate of their choice?

11. Maybe Clark's book will become an international bestseller
THAT would be legal, as much as it is nothing more than pure sophistry.

12. Profits from Clark/Dean/Kuchinich books go to author or his designee
That might help the authors put food on the table but I think there is still a limit to how much of their own money Wes and Dennis can use in their campaigns.

Dean would be free to use the funds, though, I believe.

Every Dean supporter should run out now and buy multiple copies of his book. Those you can't read yourself you should donate to libraries and hospitals, maybe leave them behind in hotel rooms. That way you could support his campaign far beyond the $2000 total limit.

And Dean would shoot to the top of the best seller list as well.

More free advertisement.

It's PERFECT!

(don't mind me. I just love to see people buying books. Probably the result of a childhood squandered in my local library.)
