    Amazon.com has just launched a new feature to encourage small
    contributions to Presidential campaigns. Refreshingly, they've
    chosen to include *all* candidates who've raised or spent over
    $5,000, not just the ones favored by the media elite.

<p>Amazon has included all candidates who've raised or spent over
$5,000, not just the ones favored by the media elite. My candidate,
Libertarian Gary Nolan, is doing quite well so far. Ironically, this is
a page coming straight out of Dean's campaign playbook at a time Howie
is declining in the polls.</p>
