Bush has 6 million people signed up for his campaign.

[LoZoccolo]

From the Washington Post:


Bush's campaign Web site already has signed up 6 million supporters, 10 times the number that Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean has, and the Bush operation is in the middle of an unprecedented drive to register 3 million new Republican voters. The campaign has set county vote targets in some states and has begun training thousands of volunteers who will recruit an army of door-to-door canvassers for the final days of the election next November.

OK Deanocrats, time to find ten people to sign up like right now.

1. Sounds like they pulled those numbers outta their ass

<eom>

[ShaneGR]

2. No, it's true

50 million voted for him 2000, it's not surporising 6 million would sign up on his website. Think about it.

5. i've come to doubt

there were 50 mil voters for him, i wonder why?
it only took 5 SCJ's.

14. Regardless, lets say he only had 45 mil

6 million out of that does not sound offbase. Realism sucks sometimes.

[dweller]

19. where did the other 39 million

hypothetical voters disappear?

guess they don't have the internet....:eyes:

3. I doubt six million would vote for him

maybe they signed up the dead from the death camps

4. And Unnamed Democrat has the rest of America.

We are sooooo united. Shrub is sooooo toast.

6. Consider what it really means probably. They had six million hits on their

website in three years. Since each of them passed by,
that automatically makes them 'campaign workers'. If
that is so, then we can do the same. I'm sure Governor
Dean has had *seven million* 'campaign volunteers' too.

7. this is frickin' war.... we need to come together on this...

After the first Tusday of March it will be clear who our nominee is... whoever it is we need to fight like never before. We need to fight like we have never fought before... this article is an example of how Bush's billionaires can spend their millions to make it look like they have popular support. We need to counter with hard core volunteerism...

I will work my ass off for anyone who gets the Dem nomination. Even "Fightin' Joe"

[LoZoccolo]

9. Yes, we need to take this seriously no matter what.

I'd rather be duped into getting 6 million Deanocrats signed up than taking it easy and letting Bush* supporters get plugged directly into his campaign propaganda and let it go unanswered.

10. I agree

I would support fightin Joe, but I would rather support Gen Real or VT Killa.

8. and the holocaust killed 6 million jews

...

[Turbineguy]

11. That would be the crowd in the -1 to -2 SD IQ distribution

No seriously.......

Maybe the thing to do is look at all the Democratic candidates combined because Bush is all the Republican candidates combined.

I think the 6 million vs 600 Thousand paints too bleak a picture. Who ever turns out to run against Bush on the ticket, will face this 6 million. That's not so bad.

And then there is "where they get there numbers" issue.

12. Oh, I believe it

Some prankster signed me up, and there is exactly a 00.000% chance that I'll vote for Bush.

I keep the e-mail coming, though, just to see what he's up to.

[Eloriel]

15. I signed up myself some time ago

Never can quite get past the first sentence or two of their emails, though. :puke:

13. Lies and the Lying Liars...

eom

[Unknown Known]

16. and I'm sure half of them are in nursing homes

No kidding. My freeper sister voted for my Mom who has Alzheimer's. This goes on all the time.

[cosmicdot]

17. anyone have a 'tot' for the collective Dem candidates

Wesley Clark
Howard Dean
John Edwards
Dick Gephardt
John Kerry
Dennis Kucinich
Joe Lieberman
Carol Moseley Braun
Al Sharpton

and, other Democratic support sites?????

How many more Rove press releases are in store? The roll-out will only get worse.

I see this as just another MWing piece from the WP ... Judy Woodruff/CNN covered the electoral vote changes to red states ... check ... check ... and check ...

sitting the stage

18. Takes about 50 million to win an election.
