Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, who is considering running for president on the Democratic ticket in 2004, stands at a podium before speaking to a small group at an event sponsored by the American Women Presidents organization in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday, Feb. 15, 2003. Moseley-Braun is spending the President's Day weekend at campaign events in the key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, appearing at events sponsored by the organization. Ten inches of snow Saturday in Des Moines kept many from attending. (AP Photo/Alex Dorgan-Ross)

And your captions are...? :)

[Puddleglum]

Attended only by her dead voters

[TSgt]

"I want to thank the thousands that are here today in spirit and I gladly accept your nomination for President of the United States."

[montomike]

Is this for real? Is this a sick and twisted parody of the American dream of political office where anyone can become President...or the President's intern?

[monocle]

The ultimate in one-on-one politicing.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Common sense kept most well wishers away. Carol has challenged herself to a debate on Easter Sunday to get into the real issues. Carol refused to accept the invitation. Mimes had no comment.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Looks like there aren't many racists in Iowa.

[LiteKeeper]

What if I give a party and nobody comes?"

[AmishDude]

Makes for easy constituent services.

[smith288]

That picture doesnt need a caption... It speaks volumes on its own...

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Looks like she's got the Empty Chair vote pretty well sewn up! Empty Chairs for Braun!

[MHT]

Still waiting for that spaceship that's going to come in with the meteor....

[MHT]

Or hell to freeze over...

[TommyDale]

"Ladies and gentelemen....er....Gentlemen.....er....Sir..."

[John H K]

Actually, what's most apalling is her "Ms. President" sign. (Though Mosely-Braun doesn't make for snappy Campaign signs, I guess.)

When a woman gets elected President (and it's GUARANTEED to be a Republican for a variety of reasons) they're not going to do it by having a pillar of their campaign being "vote for me, I'm a woman!"

[BlueLancer]

"Or hell to freeze over..."

[NYC Republican]

How frustrating is it having Hitlery and Schumer as our Senators? Knowing the only Republican that can win state-wide is a RINO? The only Rep NYC mayor that can win is someone who was a liberal dem months before the election? I thought I was a rare breed (republican guy in NYC) - you're even rarer! More power to you.

[RetiredArmy]

Lots of people disguised as chairs I see.

[E Rocc]

I am some-body!

I am relevant!

Lots of people disguised as chairs I see.

Naw, it's just that refereshments have already been served and everyone is taking a break!

"An election... is like a snowball. A snowball is started by one single flake, rolling along and getting other flakes to join in. Today, I begin my role as Candidate with that one, single flake."

[j.havenfarm]

Alas, though it is tempting, I shall not join her supporters. Cross over voting is allowed in the primary here in California, and I'm already committed to vote for Sharpton. RUN, AL, RUN!

[TheBigB]

I don't wanna say she's boring, but halfway through the speech, three of the empty chairs walked out. :)

[dead]

"First, for the record, I would like to state that I am NOT the black congresswoman who thought that the astronauts landed on Mars."

[Publius6961]

Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun...

Phrase has a nice satisfying ring to it doesn't it?

Carol who?

[DrewsDad]

I suggest that you have the moderator withdraw your comment.

[EGPWS]

"An election... is like a snowball. A snowball is started by one single flake, rolling along and getting other flakes to join in. Today, I begin my role as Candidate with that one, single flake."

By the time THAT snowball forms it will be 95 and sunny!

[Barnacle]

“Thank you… Thanks you… I’m humbled… Thank you… I’m humbled… I’m humbled by the turnout today. First of all, I’m sure that every one of you here today knows my position on ghost paroling…”

[Martyboy1]

"I've been duped!...I thought this was an Al Sharpton rally!"

[ewing]

Moseley Braun 1, Sharpton 0 ..

[11th Earl of Mar]

EMPTY SUIT ADDRESSES EMPTY CHAIRS

Yeah, that group was SO small that the group was not visible to the naked eye!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Good line.

[Publius6961]

Alas, though it is tempting, I shall not join her supporters. Cross over voting is allowed in the primary here in California, and I'm already committed to vote for Sharpton. RUN, AL, RUN!

Why not mimic progressives all the way, and vote for both of them?

[Revolting cat!]

"I am," I said, to no one there,
and no one heard at all not even the chair
"I am," I cried, "I am," said I
and I am lost and I can't even say why.

[NYC GOP Chick]

There are more of us than you realize.

[ditto h]

Does it count if no one seconds the nomination?

[Avid Coug]

"On Saturday, a huge throng of cheering fans helped Carol Mosely-Brown launch her long awaited bid to become the first woman minority president of the United States. DNC representatives and CNN reporters on the scene estimated the crowd at well over 50,000."

[Gritty]

Carole Mostly-Fraud: "In my home base of Chicago, dead voters overwhelmingly support me every election. Today, I thought I would appeal to that same strong voter support here in Iowa!"

[Freebird Forever]

I would like to state that I am NOT the black congresswoman who thought that the astronauts landed on Mars

LOL

[Burlem]

Sharpton where are you?

[fightin kentuckian]

"The NAACP estimated the crowd at about ten thousand however the parks comission put the total closer to zero."

[fightin kentuckian]

I AM,.....An ARMY OF 1

[buffyt]

I vote for #10 as the best caption. Smith288 said the picture speaks for itself.

[nutmeg]

ping!

[fightin kentuckian]

The event was attended by me, myself and I. See I just trippled my attendance.

[nowings]

I am pleased to be here with all the viewers of Donahue...

[buffyt]

I thought you were an "oldie" Freeper. You are member number 700. [I am #1471] I salute you! You have been Freepin' a long time!

[fightin kentuckian]

NO BODY KNOOOOOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEEEEEN. NO BODY KNOWS MY SORROOOOOOOOOOW.
