Conditional??

THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Sharpton Talks of Conditional Exit
The New York minister may drop out if Kerry addresses an 'urban agenda' and agrees to help retire his $600,000 campaign debt.

The Rev. Al Sharpton may soon drop his longshot campaign for the presidency if presumptive Democratic nominee John F. Kerry agrees to adopt a more pronounced "urban agenda," sources in Sharpton's camp said Thursday.

Sharpton confirmed in a telephone interview that representatives of his campaign have talked to the Democratic National Committee and Kerry operatives about how he might "fold into" a campaign to defeat President Bush.

Nursing a cold at his home in Brooklyn, Sharpton said the discussions with Kerry's campaign had just begun and that he planned to continue his candidacy for the time being. A trip to Florida this weekend was likely.

"I don't know if 'discontinue' is the word I would use," said Sharpton, referring to his candidacy. "But clearly, from the beginning, our intention was to go out and affect policy. It was always a matter of how we would fold into an anti-Bush campaign. That was always part of the plan."

Although Sharpton sounded somewhat equivocal about his plans, one aide said it was clear the discussions with the Kerry camp were designed to end with Sharpton "suspending the campaign operations."

The repuke guy who was "helping" him has found his hands full. Al does more to take down bush than he does to bash Bush, so the funding was suddenly gone. He makes a good soundbite per appearance (if not three) including the quote of the day. McAuliffe should kiss Al's feet, tail, and dry his toes with his hair while he is at it.

Al has deleviered more value than the post office at Christmas. The Dem partry better had answer the call or Nader will add a new convert perhaps?

Al will keep the faith this go round, unless he gets a cabinet spot I seen Nader in his Tarot...

Still, this is the first time I've seen someone who really can't win say, "pay my bills and I'll be on your side."

Or at least, to say it so openly. If I were him, I would suspend campaign operations now if he has to because of his finances, then come back later when it would most annoy the DNC.
