The appearance is that he can't get anyone around here to support him. <BR/><BR/>Of course, the Catch-22 is that a $50,000.00 local check would raise eyebrows...what is the donor looking for in return?<BR/><BR/>Still the check definitely will be a crushing blow to Moss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-12523977324636557562008-09-07T01:21:00.000-04:002008-09-07T01:21:00.000-04:00We never discussed that.What difference would it m...We never discussed that.<BR/><BR/>What difference would it make?Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-33152430976211163752008-09-06T21:50:00.000-04:002008-09-06T21:50:00.000-04:00But out of town, not local, correct?But out of town, not local, correct?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-62126265616902909132008-09-06T14:54:00.000-04:002008-09-06T14:54:00.000-04:00Anon 2:32,Not true.

I have no idea what that means in relation to the other African-American political group, but it doesn't hurt her.<BR/><BR/>Third, Taylor should easily trounce Moss, but there is no chance of him winning this thing.<BR/><BR/>(Although it would be nice to see him beat Elmer Fudd).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
