Does anybody else think this is just silly?

I think this ranks up there with Joe Hoeffel's neverending emails about which interns won a free ice cream for getting the most volunteers to sign up.

Love ya, guys, but could you beef up the strategy just a little bit?

If for some reason you can't make it, I hope that you consider making a donation of $53 to show your commitment to Jon Corzine's agenda of progressive change in New Jersey.

1. Silly, Yes. Will it possibly get donations..

... from those who don't normally donate? Also yes. Politicians depend on their hardcore constituents to buy tickets to these things no matter what. It's selling those fence-sitters that's the problem. And this is just one way to do it.

[Kire]

2. ah, the all-mighty dollar

:shrug: you're right, I guess there's a reason I'm stranded up here in Warren County, I don't put on my Disco hat enough

Honestly, I wish I could go. I'll dance any of y'all away, but I wouldn't feel right doing it. You'd be paying to get trounced by my skills.

[Kire]

3. will it lose donations and generate scorn from disco-haters?

yes, and also yes

[Kire]

4. Would you rather be freezing with General Washington's men....

...or 'discoing' with General Howe and his men?

No, I'm not comparing Schundler or Forrester or whomever with the father of our country. I'm just saying we shouldn't stray from what works?

If ever Corzine had an Achille's heel, it is his public image as a cash-grabbing money whore. We shouldn't give the GOP any more ammunition.

7. I think you miss the point---

By fundraising the way the is--Corzine is proving that he can garner support the old fashioned way-- a lot of $30 --$53 dollar donations.

These are classic Paul Wellstone tactics.

5. Max-- but no Bruce?

I'm not going!! (pout)

6. Max Weinberg is the shit.

his jokes are funnier than Conan's
