I'm a player in a Presidential campaign now. Drinks are on me.

[WilliamPitt]

I got hired to be the Press Secretary for the Kucinich campaign today. Temporarily hanging up my truthout spurs. Line 'em up, baby.

Actually, save it for tomorrow. I'm exhausted and have to sleep. Tomorrow, we drink.

[JCMach1]

1. Congrats...

:party:

When Gary Hart was considering a run early last year, I was offered a position with his campaign. It's a very exciting moment...

Good Luck Will!!!

2. Cheers...uh, tomorrow

3. Well, Congratulations, but I can't keep up.

I'm finally coming around to John Kerry and you're jumping over to Kucinich.

Seriously, what an honor. Many congratulations, and I know you'll do a great job for Dennis Kucinich.

Again, congratulations.

[WilliamPitt]

5. Just keeping your on your toes

P.S. Kerry is an excellent, excellent man.

11. William I sent you a PM

I should have posted it here; it did not qualify as private. It's really late I blame my half awake state of mind. Who is going to take over the TO overview?

What I wrote.......

I just watched your speech at the NH party for Kucinich. Public office is in your future; I needed what you said regarding an ARMY of people just like us around the country.

No longer on the sidelines I'm actively in the game working for Peace and Justice, I can’t shake that activist voice that screams inside of me. http://www.californiapeaceaction.org.

10. Hey, don't give up on Howard

Don't let the media tell you who to vote for. According to CNN's chart they had up earlier (and may still) he has more delegates than Kerry at this point. I guess not all delegates are tied to primaries and some have committed to candidates already. Keep the Howard faith.

4. I should have known you just got home

My power just went off. Evil man! You did that on purpose!

:hi:

[prolesunited]

8. There is no more exciting job than to be on a presidential

campaign.
Have fun. And you signed on with the fun crew, for sure.

Nice article the other day for Truthout on him, btw. I sent it far and wide to help educate the masses.

Good luck.

15. Just leave me the bottle of Jack

It's in good hands. :evilgrin:

:toast: :beer: :party: :bounce: :D

News par excellence. I'll be tuning in to kucinich.us tonight. :-)

[NoPasaran]

16. Congratulations

:toast:
Try to steer him away from the visual aids, okay? They are not working.

[VelmaD]

17. Oh honey, that's wonderful

I am just thrilled for you. If anyone can pull this thing off you can. :-) Knock 'em dead.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

18. For real? They don't mind your Kerry support? Well done, Will.

I have no doubt you'll perform to your usual excellent standard.

[TNOE]

19. That is great and exciting.

God how I wish Dennis could catch on. What a great team you will make - best of luck!!!

[brainshrub]

20. What did you do to the old press secretary? (nt)

[never cry wolf]

21. Congratulations Will,

I only wish he had half a chance, even more so now. Could you imagine daily press briefings with the President's press sec'y. WP??

Fight the good fight!!

[mac56]

22. Congratulations!

Woo hoo!

[bobthedrummer]

23. Well that is great.

You're in good company, I'll be looking forward to Press Releases from DK from you.

[GOPisEvil]

24. Wow. Congratulations.

:toast: May Dennis' candidacy be long and fruitful. If you make it to TX on Mar. 9th, let us all know.

[VelmaD]

25. What he said.

Get your butt to Texas for the primary. The drinks are even on me. :toast:

[kodi]

26. best wishes and thanks for helping dennis get his message out

you are now on the field instead of the sidelines, buckle your chin strap you are in for a bumpy ride.

[Aristus]

27. Congrats, Will. I'm thrilled for you.

DK couldn't ask for a better press secretary. You're definitely a 'playa' now! :D

Next round is on me, buddy. :toast::beer::toast::beer:

[Generic Other]

28. I thought you were backing Kerry!

I can't keep up with all the behind the scenes manuevering!

Is the press secretary job permanent? Or do you go back to being plain old Will after Super Tuesday?

Good luck to you! It really is a wonderful opportunity for you!

[JanMichael]

29. What about Kerry? Why Kucinich?

Who, what, where, when?!!!

[Dogmudgeon]

30. I don't drink, so you can have mine!

Excellent going!

It's strange for us Democrats to have the problem that so many strong candidates are running. And with people like you powering their candidacies, the long, cold Age of Cynicism may be coming to an end.

Congratulations, Will. And thank you.

[supernova]

31. Way to go, Will!

Posted to your announcement in GDPrimary, and I'll post here too!

Congratulations! :party: :bounce: :party:

I know because of you we will hear a lot more from DK. :thumbsup:

So, which nightly news are you going to be on this evening? :D

[ploppy]

32. Good for you Will!

Work hard and have a great time. :hi:

[SOteric]

33. Excellent. Our evil plans for a progressive takeover of the world

are proceeding apace.

[proud patriot]

34. Hey that is too cool William

:bounce:

[fishnfla]

35. Great idea!

In the "brilliant" thread, I called for you to be press sect'y. A good match. Finest kind! Dont forget the little people on your rise to the top! (skinner needs inaugeral tickets donated for DU fundraiser, hint,hint)

[Flaxbee]

36. Excellent!

That is terrific! My husband and I are big fans of Kucinich. If he doesn't get the nomination (unfortunately I think that is a foregone conclusion) I hope he keeps speaking and spreading his message, somehow he needs to keep pushing his ideas b/c they really resonate with a lot of people around here (would you believe it, in the woods of Virginia he's got a pretty good following) and I think with more liberals than not... I'd hate to see him disappear from the national scene!

[hippiechick]

37. CONGRATS, Bro !!

I'll have a very very very very TALL Long Island Iced Tea.
(like, in a barrel).

It's been a scummy coupla' weeks here in Indy.

:hippie:

[Redneck Socialist]

38. You damn hippie!

Seriously though congratulations. Politics from the inside is a hell of rush and the buzz from presidential politics is like crack, "better than sex" as Hunter S. Thompson wrote. Good luck, have fun and keep us updated.

[sister_rosa_refried]

39. Best wishes, dear.

[Kat45]

40. Congratulations, Will.

:toast:


(But I thought you were a Kerry man?)

[Raven]

41. I'm a nervous wreak!

Don't know why, haven't been able to concentrate on anything today. I'm the only one in this family living the quiet life. Will gave a barnburner of an introduction at the DK party last night and then I'm watching the noon news and see his father (my ex) standing with the vets behind Kerry at the Kerry party last night. Then the phone rings and it's the ex wanting to drive from Manchester to Keene in the snow to visit...this is a guy from Alabama with no snow tires, no 4 wheel drive...no warm clothes...no boots...Jesus!! :eyes: So I talked him out of it and sent him your way, Will. Better you than me Sweetie! I'm going out to talk with the foxes and the Moose...at least I can keep track of them! :-)

[VelmaD]

42. Raven...

Be careful of the universe might just decide you need a little excitement sent your way. :)

Have fun with the mooses. ;)
