I wish the non contenders would donate their campaign money.

[Robin Hood]

As we all know, Money is tight these days. Bush has a whopping amount of dough. Yet, people like Lieberman, Kucinich, Sharpton and so on, continue to spend their campaign donations on campaigns that have no chance of election.

I wish that most of these people would drop out now and give their money to what ever front runner they wish. It only makes fiscal sense. Don't you think that it's ridiculous that Lieberman continues to campaign(throw donations away)? Even though he barely made a whimper in the North east, his stomping ground.

It's time to start pulling our resources and time to start pulling this party together. And it's definitely time to kick the crooks out of the stolen White House.

1. speaking of which

what's Gephardt going to do with his cash?

[Robin Hood]

2. Almost forgot about Gep.

Thnx for the reminder. What is Gep doing with his campaign contributions?

[xray s]

3. Can they do that?

I was wondering what a candidate can do with any money they have left over if they drop out.

Can they give it to another campaign?
Can they spend it themselves running ads against Bush even after they drop out?
Can they give it to an activist group like moveon.org

4. i agree, it is ridiculous that lieberman keeps campaigning

but not for the $$$ but for other reasons, outside of that ...whatever... i got a sorry ass look ahead of me for a financial winter but i will be taking it on so whoever has no chance please donate their $$$ to me ...

5. Um.

The people that donated did it for what they believed. Their candidates should run until its gone. Its not your money and I think you are a really silly to suggest this. Unlike the U.S.S.R this is still a democratic state. We can have many running. That is what elections are about. That is how we decide.

You get an F in civics. Someone needs to box your ears.

7. If I had given money to the trailing campaigns.

I would want my money going to the greater cause not some egotistical run until the gas runs dry campaign. I would want my money used to get Bush out of office. Either that or give me back the money so that it can be used for the greater good.

As for the rest of your idiotic non sensical statements, it appears to me that you know little about politics, especially political strategy.

[MMT]

8. Well, I think all the money should go to the person with the best platform

for working people and that's unarguably Dennis Kucinich. Then all the media attention would come to him too, and the yuppies who gave all that money would be doing some good with it instead of contributing to our worsening political situation which is what's happening now.

[Robin Hood]

9. I disagree,

A worsening political situation would be to re-elect Bush. Can we take a chance on that?

[eridani]

6. What money?

All the campaigns except Kucinich and Clark have debts.

[spooky3]

10. link?

[CWebster]

11. Contributions are intended for the specific candidate

to wage a campaign against the other candidates. Unlike Kucinich, some candidates honor the motivating causes behind a voters support.

[LWolf]

12. I'm so glad Dennis has committed

to staying in until the convention. I would be very unhappy if he gave my hard-earned cash to one of the other candidates that I wouldn't have sacrificed to donate to.

[Renew Deal]

13. I think there is a $5000 limit.

So if they don't have debts, I don't think they can give more than that.
