…and there is the scenario of Jeferson getting elected, found guilty, and then we vote Cedric Richardson or Rahim in…

or we turn our back on politics entirely because the system is broken beyond all repair…

Obviously the T-P is a worthless, biased, unreliable newspaper. That said, I go back and forth on Rahim. It’s extremely, extremely important to me that Jefferson’s seat remains black, and since I disagree with Rahim on some major issues (mostly having to do with Common Ground), it’s hard for me to see his candidacy as anything but a potential vote drain to Jefferson.

Which I realize is the most infuriating thing that can be said about a third-party candidate, but I voted Nader in 2000 and have no regrets about having done so… “they’re just siphoning off votes!” is not a position I generally hold w/r/t 3rd party candidates.

Go Dollar Bill, show ‘em all! The more angry your detractors get, the more I dig you! And way to stand firm against the bailouts… that’d get my vote if nothing else did.

It’s just like on the fund drives for public radio when they say they need 5 more calls to fulfill the challenge. News flash! The DJ’s have no idea where the money is coming from.

Regardless of who you support, I think we should be very concerned about the TP’s obvious lack of editorial review. This reporting is inaccurate and misleading.

From the article: “…The sum of those efforts gives Cao access to more than $200,000 to promote himself in the 10 days left before the Dec. 6 general election. ”

Joseph Cao Total Receipts $110k:

They are totaling potential financial pledges to Cao to inflate his numbers. Biased reporting indeed.
