Reverened Al Sharpton, according to the latest Zogby survey, leads all other Democratic presidential hopefuls among New York City Democrats with 13%. Sharpton is in third place overall in the state, and not far from #1. You tell me that this party has itself together? Years of bumbling by the likes of the Ted Kennedys who are anti-everything, has laid the groundwork for this. It helps him too that you have B-actors and ex-presidents Carter and Clinton out there bashing everything Bush does. Sharpton's latest brilliant move is, according to our old buddy Joel Rosenberg in Des Moines, to propose a flat tax. That's one part of his three-point plan, the anti-war position being another, and a $250 billion, five-year plan to "create jobs and rebuild bridges and highways and tunnels," etc. is the third. The Reverend Sharpton is the only one with a personality in this bunch. That's why he's driving the Democrats nuts. John F. Kerry campaign manager Jim Jordan worried that the party "will be fragmented" by Sharpton. Will be? You won't hear the words "flat tax" out of any Democrat's mouth. You combine this with Gov. Bill Richardson - a tax traitor as far as Democrats are concerned - saying lower taxes equal jobs and economic booms.
