ALABAMA: GUBERNATORIAL HOPEFUL FLASHES FOR CASH
Thanks to political columnist Bob Ingram, Loretta Nall
is best known lately for two things -- both of them on
her chest. "In 55 years of political writing," Ingram
noted in a recent column about a photo of Nall, "that
was a first for me -- a picture in my column of a
woman displaying cleavage ... [my mother] wouldn't
have approved of that picture."
Nall, a well-known medical marijuana activist and the
Libertarian Party's 2006 candidate for governor of
Alabama, isn't one to pass on an opportunity. "When
life hands you lemons, you make lemonade," she says.
"When God gives you melons ... well, let's not go
there." But going there she is, with a new fundraising
campaign designed to capitalize on Ingram's touting of
her attributes. To raise money for ballot access, Nall
is using Flash animations on her campaign web site.
Contributors get a glimpse of the buxom beauty's
cleavage or waistline -- and big donors are promised
an uncensored view of "the biggest boobs in Alabama
politics."
All's fair in love, war and politics, says Nall. "I
had to go one of two ways -- don a burqa so that maybe
people like Bob Ingram will be willing to talk about
my actual platform instead of my anatomy, or go with
the flow and use dismissive attacks to my advantage. I
don't back down easily. This is, if you'll pardon the
_expression_, tit for tat."
Nall faces Alabama's draconian ballot access
restrictions -- "the Republicans and Democrats are
scared to death of a fair fight," she says -- and must
submit 42,000 valid signatures to the Secretary of
State by June 6th in order to appear on the ballot
with the Democrat and GOP candidates (who face no such
hurdle). Her "Flash for Cash" campaign is intended to
raise the money required to gather those signatures.

Members of the media: For this fundraiser to be
effective, I obviously can't allow our final
animations to be hyperlinked around the Internet, so
we've taken several security measures to prevent this
from happening. However, we'll be happy to send
non-Internet media sources raw files with the security
measures stripped away. Simply contact
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to make the proper arrangements.
While we proudly consider bloggers an important part
of the media, we're sure you will appreciate why we
aren't exposing the links. We do hope you'll link to
this page, though. Feel free to lift any of the
graphics, too.
