You’re all missing the real question here. The question is just how will the legacy of Michael Jackson be invoked in this race? There exists a moral imperative here (or in any race involving Ron Crimm) to properly use his name in reference to MJ.

So which will it be?

A. She will highlight his excesses, lapses, votes for waste/fraud/abuse, caving to lobbyists, and other miscellaneous douchebaggery and refer to him as “a Smooth Crimm-inal”

B. He will beat her to the punch and make her look silly in a debate, leaving her dumbstruck. At which time he will moonwalk around the podium, beatbox a smidge to lay down a groove, and then sing “Kimmy are you okay? Are you okay, Kimmy? You’ve been hit by … You’ve been struck by .. A smooth Crimm-inal,” ending with a tasteful, yet triumphant “Shamon!”

Is there a commonality between the campaigns?
Like Geveeden or Bluegrass Fulfilment?
No accusation here, merely examples of types of communalities.
Vote for Price; no ethical lapses there. No doubt about unrestricted support for real medical service reform. Will support a liberal agenda instead of being a blue dog or a sitty-boy.

It may be immoral for one candidate to share his e-mail list with another candidate, but is it illegal? I can’t tell by reading the FEC site.

However, if she did not include a disclaimer, and she sent the e-mail out to more than 500 people, then she is violating the law.
Since the no-call list doesn’t apply to politicians, I would guess that they probably added an exclusion to politicians in the CAN-SPAM act. If they didn’t, then she did violate the law by not providing an opt-out.

Wow, you’re on it, Jake.
Did those other two campaigns have a privacy policy when they were collecting email addresses, and is their retribution when an organization violates their own privacy policy?
