I thought this as well.

A former Sheriff of a county? An Alderman? a Commissioner? I recognize no name on that list?

But they are prominent? Why not just say democrats?

[24KT]

A Blogger?

wtf? {lol} Seems to me that if they were at all prominent, you wouldn't have to put a description by their names

I mean, if you were to say Colin Powell endorses Obama, there's no need to add who Colin Powell is.

That's prominence, ...but a blogger? rotflmao.

[240 is Back]

Every name on that list adds up to the prominence of Colin Powell's baby teeth.

What ? You don't think a city clerk from some un-named city is Mississippi is a "prominent" democrat?

Obviously you missed Herb.

Herb is a former member of the Palmyra Budget Committee of Maine!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge name to pick up there, just huge. I expect CNN to break through with that any second now.

Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Philip Frye

the fuck is guber national?

seriously..

Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Philip Frye

the fuck is guber national?

seriously..

He is a television repairman who got 1% of the vote after he ran because his wife slept with the Governor and he hoped to make cash by selling the story. A great American politican

Here is what "the google" told me:

Frye is a "former Democratic gubernatorial candidate" from West Virginia. That's technically true, but Frye never won the Democratic nomination. He didn't even come close, he finished in 7th place - out of 8 candidates, 1% of the vote. Frye, a television and VCR repairman from West Virginia who decided to run for governor to seek revenge against then Governor Bob Wise, who had engaged in an extramarital affair with Frye's wife, a state employee. (Their affair was a media goldmine, complete with an e-mail trail.) Frye then decided to seek revenge by challenging Wise, later explaining his decision to run for office in blunt terms: "It was fueled by revenge to some degree, and I wanted to embarrass Wise.

Frye will not release the details of his allegations because he hopes to sell his story, the Daily Mail reports.

I am 100% serious btw: LINK

Sounds like a great group supporting McCain here.

And to make it better, I just read that on 50+ pages of hillaryclinton.com there is not a post by her, and none seem to be there! I can only assume she was a one hit wonder who once wrote something? Fed donation reports there is one person who donated to Hill by that name - and she is listed as *unemployed*.

The blogger appears to be more of a powerhouse than suspected!

Damn straight, top notch people here

It was questionable on its face what with sheriffs etc, and by time you dig in, it really blows. The TV fixer story just shows he was desperate to pick up numbers, you can get no lower than a scrub like that.

Damn, great post!  I didn't know all those people were supporters of McCain, thanks!
