Clinton got in trouble for taking donations from the govts of China & Indonesia about a decade ago . . . taking money from foreign govts is definitely frowned upon.

Edwards seems like a reasonable bloke -- don't think he'll do well in the early NH & IA primaries, but maybe he can turn things around when they get to the South.
Thought he was right on in that debate where Dean said the stupid stuff about "guys with confederate flags in their trucks."

CAMPAIGN CASH RACE TURNS INTERNATIONAL; MOVEON.ORG CENTER OF INTRIGUE; CLARK SEEKS CANADIAN SUPPORT, WEBSITE SHOWS
**Exclusive**
Frustrated with the lack of domestic support, left-leaning website MoveOn.org has apparently been reaching beyond American borders to generate cash revenue over the internet!
The provocative international fundraising strategy threatens to embroil the presidential candidacies of General Wesley Clark and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean.
Both men are named on international fundraising websites suggesting donations to MoveOn.org.

Meanwhile, MoveOn.org, which has been running ads critical of the Bush Administration, has named an "International Campaigns Director," the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
It is not clear how much money has been raised -- to date-- from foreign sources, but political websites from London to Portugal to Montreal are directing their citizens to stop the American president George Bush by donating to MoveOn.org!
Wesley Clark's official campaign website has been offering a link to "Canada For Clark", which in turn advises Canadians: "Non-Americans can't by law, give money to any particular candidate's campaign. But we can support pro-democracy, progressive American organizations like MoveOn.org, which do their best to spread the ugly truth about Bush and publicize the Democratic message. Click here to donate to MoveOn.org."
The top traffic referrer to CanadaForClark.com is Clark's Official Campaign Website.

Dean04Worldwide.com is a noncommercial and volunteer website offered by Corinne Sinclair, a non-US citizen, based in London. Domain registration information indicates the website name servers are owned by PromoHosting.com, a website hosting service based in Portugal. Dean04Worldwide.com encourages non-Americans across the global to help Dean win the 2004 election.
A notice on the website explains how to provide funds to MoveOn.org, since non-Americans cannot donate directly to the Dean campaign.
Late last week, a Swedish website removed an "EU-MoveOn.org Fundraising Appeal," claiming MoveOn.org "No Longer Accepts Contributions From Non US Citizens/Permanent Resident Aliens."
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, who has been headlining moveone.org events, is said to have vocalized serious concerns about the website accepting cash from foreign sources, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, we are not going to take contributions from overseas," Wes Boyd, one of the founders of MoveOn.org, explained this weekend.
Boyd refused to disclose how much revenue had already been generated abroad.

Our band radical is big into him, to the extent of having us record a "vote for dennis" tune and booking us at kucinich fundraisers - Andrew (our radical) is good vibes enough that I trust him to back someone worth believing in - as for what actually happens come election time, it's a full deck of wild cards as of now and we'll just have to wait & see
Part of DK's strength as I understand it is his grassroots approach and the support he's getting from whatever passes for american counterculture in 2003 - Ani Difranco, notably, and others I forget are helping to raise his profile, which is interesting but we'll see how effective

Last poll I saw showed Kucinich was getting the support of 1% of democrat voters -- dead last in the field.
Of course the most popular guy in that poll was someone named "Undecided" with 28% support!
