The only blog with a TV host as a Blog Jockey who will surf the other sites and let the visitors know what is going on elsewhere. YabbaDabbaHubbaDo will have celebrity contributors like Sandra Bernhard, Julie Brown, Jerri Manthey, Belinda Carlisle, Jeff Gannon and Michael "Brownie" Brown. The contrast between these contributors will create fun, friction and possible solutions. No stone left unturned.
The record breaking day consisted of nearly 60,000 people contributing to the campaign. Almost 25,000 of these Paulites were first-time donors. Over 118,000 people have contributed to the Ron Paul Campaign during the 2007 4th quarter.

Ron Paul is the only Republican I would ever vote for.
He is proof that not all Texans are raging right wing lunatics....
Yes most, but not all

Okay...so this is my first comment - or official addition to your amazing blog site Jack!
It should be noted that:
I am NOT a political person. As a matter of fact, I dread political discussions almost as much as religious ones.
My beliefs and allegiances are all over the place and based on a per person basis, not their political party or rumors surrounding them.
But Ron Paul really grabbed my attention. I was browsing YouTube and found an amazing amount of video footage of him on various talk shows.
Yet, anyone who is truly political discredits him completely. Apparently because he has little to no financial backing other than what he has raised completely on his own via the internet.
I found this truly admirable. I also believe that this is the way campaigns SHOULD be funded! It seems EVERYTHING is governed by the amount of money a person has. Everywhere you look. It's what separates all of us. And I find it disgusting in the political arena where representatives are SUPPOSED to speak for the people. It's clear that they will always speak for the people WITH MONEY!
Not to mention, Ron Paul is saying all the things that everyone else (who is funded by various sources - the money people who are esssentially BUYING their voice) is unable and afraid to say. He speaks out - and LOUDLY - I might add - on everything that rings true with those of us who see things for what they ARE and not what they APPEAR to be.
I love Ron Paul! I wish he would win. But alas, I'm sure it will never be. Not until major sources of influence give him some money. But then we all know he would cease saying the important things.
So now some of you may be saying, "Well, Jerri, if you feel that strongly, you should go vote for him."
And my response is at is always has been: "The day the POPULAR vote and not the ELECTORAL vote decide the true winner, that's when I'll take a whole day - shit I'll take many months helping out - to cast a vote."
As of today, I've only voted once in my life. It was when Kerry ran against Bush. And the only reason I did, was because my local voting location was at the FIRE STATION and I was oh-so-hoping to meet a sexy fireman!
Love & Honesty,
Jerri Manthey
