Oh, John, it was John Kerry that supplied Obama with my address, at least it was sent from Kerry’s site.

Michael, I read them in case they say something inane I can use for blog fodder.

Thanks, John, but your money for Dodd isn’t wasted if he can stop FISA. You can still write his name in, whether he’s running or not. It’s not like the DNC is going to notice what we do here.

Dennis is in it to the end.

Bryan,

Don’t blame me! (A) I don’t have your correct email address. All the nasty letters I send your way come back “addressee is unknown to all but Homeland Security.” (B) Hey, you don’t see ME getting invites to Bloomberg’s coming out party. (C) All my money went to Dodd, figuring he’d last at least as long as Kucinich. Shows how much I know.

I got that e-mail, too, though I don’t remember which e-mail account it came to. I promptly deleted it, as I do with most candidate e-mails I get.

I checked: he has a BSEE from Johns Hopkins, an MBA from Harvard Business and has always worked in investments first with Solomon, then is his own company supplying terminals and business software. His “jewel” is the Bloomberg radio network and publishing empire.

He is at least not a WASP, but being Jewish is not much of a variant.

Frankly, he’s a solution without a problem, a function that is never called left in the code during development.

I’m not passing out any money at the moment, but I’m flat annoyed at this whole Unity movement. If they want to start a third party, go for it, but don’t waste my time pretending that there is a way you can bring the Repubs in to compromise. They haven’t done it in so long, they wouldn’t know how.

Being an older, white male, Mayor Bloomberg would naturally bring his unique perspective to the Republican Party and guide them towards the ~~18th~~ 21st century. And although I'm not sure what his college major was, I am sure he'll ~~be the next white hope~~ revitalize the party faithful (or something like that).

I have several email aliases for my two actual mailboxes. The Bloomberg email arrived via the one found at the moment on the YDD’s contact page. I used the unsubscribe link; we’ll see if it worked. The address itself… well, I change that every year or so, just to clean things out.

I deliberately subscribed to six of the Dem candidates’ email lists, directing them to yet another email alias that I shall “disappear” after the primaries. It’s not just Bloomberg: every blessed candidate (and a few damned ones as well) asks for money in more than half of his or her list emails.
