How can you "win" staged elections without The Producers being in on it? Those who decide the outcome do most of their work during the parties' primaries and selection process in the first place. If We The People had had our way, environmentalist and legacy-rancher Al Gore (whose wife Tipper wanted to censor music with PMRC) would have spared us all the horrors of Dicks Cheney and Bush, but who actually runs this world?
A prominent local Democrat, Augusta County Supervisor Tracy Pyles has raised Curren’s faith as a potential problem in November, even as Republicans scramble to field a candidate in the wake of Chris Saxman’s withdrawal from the race. Pyles said Tuesday that Curren is a strong candidate, but erred in failing to reveal his Buddhist faith. Pyles said he spelled out his concerns to Curren during an April meeting with the candidate.
“I told him it could be a killer issue. It could be a tough one,” Pyles said. “... [I]t is better to be out front and honest about things and trust people to make the right decisions.” Curren’s campaign Web site makes a brief reference to religion, but says nothing about Buddhism: “Erik attends Crozet United Methodist Church with his fiancée Lindsay Howerton and her two daughters, Anwyn, age 14, and Chloë, age 12.”
Curren said he did not expect Buddhism to emerge as a campaign issue. “The whole thing really surprises me,” Curren said. “My religious faith is really important to me...it’s been an impetus and an inspiration to support the community and show empathy for others.” Curren began practicing Buddhism after inquiring into the religion more than a decade ago. He later authored a book, “Buddha’s Not Smiling,” exploring corruption among Tibetan Buddhist leaders.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Like most people in America, Paris Hilton's mother (Kathy Hilton) doesn't share John McCain's humor. McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said his campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Hilton and Britney Spears was part of an attempt to inject humor into the presidential race.
Mrs. Hilton, a McCain donor, registered her disapproval: "It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs," Kathy Hilton said in a short article posted on the liberal Huffington Post Web site. "And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States." The ad plays on Obama's popularity by dismissing him as a mere celebrity, like Hilton and Spears.
The Obama campaign has said the ad is proof that McCain would rather launch negative attacks than debate important issues. McCain on Friday denied that his campaign had taken a negative turn, saying, "We think it's got a lot of humor in it, we're having fun and enjoying it." But Kathy Hilton, who together with her husband donated $4,600 to McCain's campaign earlier this year, was unpersuaded. She called the ad "a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign." Daughter Paris fired back with a video of her own.
