I think it's possible for Dems to demonstrate that corporations are NOT people. 'Foreign' could be
the trump card here.

1. but don't forget, they( the dems) think they need permission from
...the "minority" party, which they won't get because the ruling hands them 2010, 2012 and beyond.

2. Of course, not if Kaine continues as head of the DNC. There's no fight in him but the 'foreign'

4. Exactly you have to be a citizen to vote, but with this
decision a government owned company in say communist China now can influence who we elect to office. I work for a Russian Company that is 95% owned by one individual in Russia and what stocks that are publicly held are traded on the London Exchange. Isn't it Citgo gas stations that are owned by the government of Venezuela? Some company from Saudi Arabia or Iran could buy our government.
