This collection of The lamest press releases of the 2004 campaign is great. My favorites:
  • SHARPTON WAY AHEAD WITH AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS ACCORDING TO NEW GALLUP POLL
    New York—According to a special analysis of likely Democratic voters conducted for the National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service (NNPA) by the Gallup Organization, Reverend Al Sharpton is the Democrat most favored to win Democratic Nomination for President among black voters.
  • Students for Bush Successfully Launch
    ANN ARBOR, Mich.—More than 150 Bush supporters participated in a pre-game rally organized by Bush-Cheney '04 and Michigan Students for Bush in an event designed to engage young people in presidential politics.

The first is one of those "no duh" things. (On a side note, I think that Sharpton is one of the most important candidates, even though he has little to no chance of the nomination, because he will speak his mind and get the other candidates to think.) The 2nd is just funny. Why in the world would Bush's campaign release info on such a meager showing of support? The idea that prior to a football game between Michigan and Ohio state the Bush-Cheney camp could only find 150 students to stand together and show support is pretty rediculous. Maybe next time they should offer some free food to get a better turn out.
