1. Probably,not a heck of a lot.

I'm sure TPTB at Air America would have shell out some cash. What's the dude doing now a days??? Does he have a website???


My first guess would be start a petion.

2. Question #1

Why would we want to do that?

3. They're not that smart...

Hell,look how long it took them just to get Malloy on. And that was probably only because of constant emails and bitching. Why wasn't he signed up from the beginning?

Guy James would be a 100% improvement from some of the lame ass programing I've heard in the mornings from time to time. He tried to get on,they blew him off.

Donahue would probably want some major bucks but he would also draw a huge audience and therefore more advertisers would step forward.

4. He needs further watching.No big decisions yet.LOL

5. Donahue would be worth every penny and a boost to the party.

6. Yes, but which Party?

Last I heard he was Green, not Democrat anymore. Both are Progressive Parties, though, not the same, for sure.... But, I guess that might be a good balance for Al Franken, whose ditto-head friend gets regular airtime (which I am sick of), and whose ideology seems to take a back seat to what's the funniest thing he can think of to say...

Phil could work out, I guess, if he promises not to use the show as a ready-made pulpit for Nader, encouraging him to run again. We do not need that.

Nader's Top Endorsers From 2000 Urge "Swing States" Support for Kerry


September 14 - As Ralph Nader campaigns in swing state after swing state, a large group of prominent endorsers from Nader 2000 is calling for support for Kerry in those states in order to oust Bush.

Four years ago this month, Nader convened news conferences in several cities to unveil his personally-selected "Nader 2000 Citizens Committee" of leading supporters. Today, more than 70 members of Nader's 2000 committee joined in issuing a statement that urges "support for Kerry/Edwards in all swing states" because "removing George W. Bush from office should be the top priority in the 2004 presidential election."

Signers of the statement include Noam Chomsky, Ben Cohen, PHIL DONAHUE, Barbara Ehrenreich, Jim Hightower, Bonnie Raitt, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Cornel West and Howard Zinn. The statement and a current list of signers can be viewed at: www.vote2stopbush.com.
