media. He is considering Bush, Kasich, Walker and Christie.The casino mogul has $38 billion to work with and could easily use several billion in the election and not miss it.

1. palast says there is still one campaign law left

to violate......super pacs may not coordinate with candidates


how does adelson having them audition on tv/meeting with them not violate that rule?

2. The campaign laws are a a big joke to those guys. The highest bidder wins now.

4. That's why Meg Whitman is Governor of California. Oh wait. She's not....

3. He's got a crappy track record so far, billons aside Mitt is not the President nor is

Newt. I see you phrase it in the positive, as if his agenda is already accomplished. I dislike that phrasing intently.

9. OK, edited to say "try to sell"

5. I wonder if it's first come first served or they all get in line

and are given numbered tickets kind of like Best Buy on their Thanksgiving sale.
Sound like it would be rather demeaning to want to serve as the leader of the free world and have to kiss ass for some casino billionaire to get there. What's the old saying, "the best democracy money can buy". Didn't work last time and hopefully won't this time around.

11. Nothing is demeaning for Bush or the 3 boot-lickers when it involves the billions they would get

from Adelson and the Kochs.

6. Well, he can "sell" the next Republican candidate all he wants

He can't force us to buy him/her.

8. This smelly piece of garbage pretty much

runs our state. Every Rethug is carry water for this Turd. Adelson and the Greenspun Media Group are one very powerful unit. Most of our media is own or run by Greenspun or some Disney Group. If it wasn't for all of the new folks here,this state would be just like Mississippi.
