Clark bashing by the redummys

I guess they are pissed they didn't think of this first.

Want to Chat with Clark? Show Him the Money

LITTLE ROCK, AR (Talon News) -- Reporters and watchdog groups have for years lamented the behind-the-scenes connection between campaign contributions and access to politicians and candidates. Presidential candidate Wesley Clark's campaign is not hiding the connection and is urging donors to pony up.

Clark staffers sent out an e-mail to supporters on Tuesday asking them to send in their donations and they may win a chance to speak with retired General Wesley Clark.

The letter reads, "Dear Friend, Do you want to meet with General Wesley Clark in your community? Get started today by making a contribution to Clark for President through the Clark04 ZIP (code) Drive! Then, recruit and challenge more supporters in your community to match your pledge of support for Wes Clark. The ZIP code that generates the largest number of online donors to Clark04 will earn huge bragging rights AND a visit from Wes Clark during the upcoming primary season!"

The campaign is compiling a list of all donors who send in $10 or more between now and Thanksgiving.

Wow, the Clark campaign has really been coming up with a lot of new innovative internet stuff. First the "wireside chats" and now the "zip code drive." It's interesting to note that winning the zip code drive is by getting the most donors, not by raising the most cash. The emphasis is on people first, and money second. Way to go, Wes :)
