I was out of town this past weekend, visiting my daughter Lucy in Pittsburgh (if you dare, you can see a video of our trip to the Andy Warhol Museum there....)
Rich Winger, Ballot Access News, notes that On November 1, the Federal Election Commission certified John Edwards’ eligibility for primary season matching funds. The FEC had already certified John McCain and Tom Tancredo. In recent past presidential election years, various minor party candidates were among to first to qualify for primary season matching funds. For example, in the presidential election of 1992, Lenora Fulani was the first person certified for primary season matching funds. Minor party members who received primary season matching funds in the past, in addition to Fulani, have been Sonia Johnson, John Hagelin, Ralph Nader, and Pat Buchanan. This year, no minor party member likely to have the capacity and the willingness to qualify for primary season matching funds has even announced for president.
Rock Hackshaw thinks Dr. Lenora Fulani may have a point here regarding the shutdown by the Dems of debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in New York City.... (Room 8 )

Also, I hear there was an interview on NY1 of New York City Independence Party leader Dr. Fred Newman and postmodern psychologist Ken Gergen from Swarthmore by Dominic Carter and Rita Nissan, which NY1 (owned and operated by Time Warner -- it's a local news channel on cable in New York City) seems to have exercised their better judgement by not posting.... Apparently Dominic screamed in a froth "Answer the question! Answer the question! Yes or no!" when Newman said that therapy patients should be allowed their constitutional right to participate in policial campaigns. Dominic wanted to know who Dr. Newman sleeps with... Here for a rendition of Sex and Politics...
Well, we could guess who Dominic is sleeping with -- the Dems..... Yuck.....
