from a news story covering an appearance by John Edwards at the University of Maine in Orono, where King introduced him:

King exhorted the faithful to go forth and multiply the Democratic vote in this "most important election of my lifetime'' by beating the bushes to find just one uncommitted soul to turn into a vote for Kerry-Edwards.

Accomplish that task, he implied, and they'd be doing mankind a wicked big favor, because "the current administration is the most unpleasant and dangerous bunch since the Nixon years'' - a back-handed compliment if ever I've heard one.


Also, he has a lifetime total of over $200K in contributions to the national and state party and to Democratic candidates on the state and federal level.
