the election for us. They're doing it anyway.

What a bunch of bullshit. The other 3 candidates should have stood up and said they wanted him in the debate and if he wasn't in it, they would NOT participate either. assholes.

34. From WaPo..."Reid's Son Goes With Clinton Campaign"
Reid's Son Goes With Clinton Campaign

The Associated Press
Sunday, February 18, 2007; 9:36 PM

WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has not endorsed a Democratic presidential candidate, but his son has.

Rory Reid is signing on as Nevada chairman for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid. He will be senior adviser on Western issues including public lands, transportation, resources and conservation, growth and affordable housing, the New York senator's campaign said in a statement Sunday.

Reid, 44, is chairman of the Clark County, Nev., Commission and a former chairman of the Nevada State Democratic Party.

The announcement prompted his father to release a statement noting he is still neutral.

"Rory is a 44-year-old man who makes his own decisions and I respect him for that, but let me be very clear: Rory's work with Sen. Clinton should in no way be taken as an endorsement by me," the senator said in a statement.

It was a BIG MEME here on DU...by many who thought Harry knew how to "Float like a butterfly...sting like a bee." Anyone remember that....How sad that "Harry the Boxer" seems to have a"needy son" who only get imployment from his Pappy.... in VEGAS...trashing Kucinich...

56. Beware
Beware any politician where the talk is that big.

I'm a Minnesotan and I had to hear "Hatch is a junkyard dog....he'll fix pawlenty" during the damned Democratic convention back in 2006. What a bunch of crap.

37. That is a BRILLIANT IDEA - We should do it! And, donate any money for Kucinich

We could put it up on eBay, but state clearly in the ad this is a protest of NBC & all proceeds will be contributed to Dennis Kucinich's Campaign! It should be a DU event, anybody in???

27. Okay, I'm not very good at this, but perhaps someone could come up with a place where we could list
the sponsors of NBC/MSNBC. If so, I'll find the e-mails and ph #s of the sponsors, and we'll spread the news everywhere.

35. Perhaps we should start with the sponsors before and after the debate
Can someone watch and keep track perhaps?

I don't have cable TV. Are there also commercials within the debate? (I usually just watch everything on C-SPAN.org or YouTube, so I don't know.)

42. Nah...I called MSNBC and e-mailed them...that's my last "activist thing" when my own Parrty
allows this to happen to one of their candidates and only two states have voted. I can get the "snips" on "You Tube" of the debate. I can't in good conscience watch it when I contacted GE/MSNBC twice today and they managed with their CLOUT to get NEVADA SUPREMES back in SESSION for an EMERGENCY RULE to disallow a Dem Candidate from being included.

What the hell are they afraid of with Kucinich, anyway? :shrug:

I made a phone call and e-mailed taking chance I'd be on BushCo/CIA/FBI LIST...I was polite...but next time they might stop me when I try to fly or whatever....I wish more DU'ers had stood up...but then I understand not all saw the ALERT in time to do anything. It's just disgusting...no matter how one tries to parse it in their favor...it's disgusting.

I called them and e-mailed them...in protest of them going to NV Supremes!
but it can't hurt for folks who missed the DU ALERT to do FOLLOW UP! I won't ever buy another GE Appliace or anything associated with them. And, I know Black & Decker was bought out by them...so one always has to check. GE Owns SO MUCH...pretty soon one won't even be able to protest and replace a worn out coffee pot or iron...down to the smallest... :-(

This is why I cannot vote for any of the candidates if Dennis is not on the ballot.

They say nothing and do nothing about all of the things that are wrong, yet parrot the word "Change" when it serves them.
