I got an e-mail from the Obama campaign that states that Obama has received donations from over 1 million different contributers, and that 94% of those people gave less than $200.
Can I offer this as counter-evidence to all those people I've argued with about campaign finance reform? Evidence that people will give money to candidates that inspire them. Evidence that you can build a campaign on small donations from many people.
Does anyone want to take on the role of Sam and Sally Third-party supporter and tell me why Obama's success couldn't be replicated by a third-party candidate who inspired people to donate?
Speaking of which, apparently a member came into use the GTFF photocopier to print up some anti-Obama propaganda before his rally here in Eugene. Of course attacking him from the left. What is it exactly the Socialists hope to accomplish here? Do they imagine that people waiting in line to hear Obama will read their propaganda attacking him for being a mainstream Dem and flock to the local Socialist Party headquarters (which I assume is located in the Survival Center)?

Do I get a prize for guessing which member made the copies?
you're wrong.
I think a radical political economic critique is very sexy. I feel like the cool kids do stuff like that. I get it and I agree with much of it. But I'm getting very, very frustrated with the left. The constant barage of critiques against Obama inspires me to flirt with moderates, which will never amount to a relationship of course, but flirting is fun.
Don't commit the fallacy and assume all Sociologists are as crazy as the one we are talking about. Some of us are still in touch with reality!
P.S. this is the same Sociologist that said we need to organize the faculty so that they can have a union that will mandate research standards that are original and do not reproduce the "scientific norm".
How's that for solidarity!
