kerry fundraising stunts
kerry needs free media, and he also needs money. so i think he needs to come up with some interesting fundraising events. like here in chicago the other day, they blew up the evil bartman baseball. they sold tickets, and brought in $100k for the juvenile diabetes foundation. now they are going to weave threads from the ball into t-shirts for the same charity.

so, what do you think? blow up some hanging chads? or some diebold voting machines? melt down some m-16's? arm wrestle howard dean? beat up protesters at abortion clinics? send flowers to gay couples getting married? (yes, i know his position, just brainstorming here)
c'mon du, the party needs your collective noodles.

and pipe in "Bring 'em on" and then bring it on? Show how we are going to kick his ass in November because he is nothing but a phony. Heck, who wouldn't want to pay for the fun of crushing one of those stupid dolls?

8. melt down a national debt clock
after letting it run for awhile so folks see how rapidly we are racking up debt... and how much each citizen can "share" in that debt... melting it down (or something)... to symbolize the intent of correcting the deficit/budget crisis.

4. Don't forget that when raising campaign funds
you've gotta follow all those reporting rules so you can't just sell tickets, for instance...
