WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton said he will travel across the country this summer with musicians and religious leaders in an effort to register 1.3 million new voters by next January.
Determined to play a major and credible role in national politics, Sharpton said he will try to persuade the hip-hop generation, the elderly and poor that participating in elections can improve their lot in life. His rivals, Sharpton argues, are focused on winning over existing voters.

Now that the DC court overturned the limits on soft money donations for get out the vote causes, I'm not surprised Sharpton is jumping on this cash train.

No. There are about nine loser alternatives but I will vote for Al in the demo rat primary. If they're too craven to call him the racist liar that he is then they can choke on him.

One VERY important thing the conservatives need to do while we can ... is to put some REAL teeth in election fraud laws and crack down hard ... REAL HARD ... on the violators.

Jenny Backus, a Democratic consultant who coordinated media coverage for the debate, said Democrats have come across as relatively humorless in the campaign. In the campaign? Try the last several years!

It would be *worth* registering as a Democrat just to vote for Fat Al in the Democratic primary.
