Dean @ NASCAR
Dean campaign should sponser a NASCAR a la Graham. That would show the pundits, and if Graham could afford it, so can Dean!

1. How much would it cost?
And how would it work? Do NASCAR races happen every weekend? In how many places?

3. Couldn't be TOO expensive with the right contacts...
My union (NATCA) has our logo on a NASCAR. Granted, it's small, but it's there...

4. The NASCAR craze is an invention of FOX
and is not as big as they make it out to be.

Still it's a good idea!

My sister watches NASCAR all the time and she's the farthest from a southern hick there is.

12. I don't know
I think NASCAR attendance stats routinely beat other pro sports. Haven't seen recent stats.

I'll take a Niner game any day.

6. If Dean decides he wants a NASCAR
I'm sure his supporters will buy him one.

7. Was that supposed to make sense?
All candidates have their supporters "buy" them advertising. It's called a political contribution.

Getting a little desperate with the attacks, aren't we?

10. Have you posted this idea on the blog?
I think it's absolutely right on.

Dean's people actually do read it to glean good ideas.

Give it a try:
