Presidential Auction 2004

David Corn uncovers more of the truth about Howard Dean - as I see it - that Dean is actually part of the political machinery. Which is how I see all the other candidates as well, until you get to Dennis Kucinich. I'm very surprised to see someone of Kucinich's apparent integrity coming out of the Democrat party. Obviously, I can't even fathom someone like that coming out of the Republican party, but the Democrats are no strangers to corporate whoredom and special interest payoffs.

This has nothing to do with the former Vermont governor's loss to Senator John Kerry in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. It has to do with Dean's decision to fire Joe Trippi, his campaign manager, and hand control to Roy Neel....Neel, a former Al Gore aide, was head of the U.S. Telecom Association in Washington in the late 1990s until he left to join Gore's 2000 campaign. The USTA lobbies on behalf of the telecommunications industry. As its lead lobbyist, Neel was the embodiment of the "special interests" that Dean has assailed on the campaign trail.  article

And speaking of Dennis Kucinich, TruthOut's William Rivers Pitt has been hired onto the campaign.

Okay then.
