A reader observes:

Larouche isn โ€˜t ever included in the lineup of Democrat contenders, even thought the most current report available (which isnโ€™t all that current โ€“ as of 9/30/03 โ€“ the next one is to be filed 1/31/04) Larouche outraised Kucinich, Braun, Graham, Sharpton and Clark. (As of that date, Larouche had raised over $5.6 million โ€“ had spent it, too!) It will be more newsworthy to compare his fundraising with the โ€œconventionalโ€ candidates when this next report comes in โ€“ Iโ€™d expect heโ€™d be behind Clark. Even so, Kucinich and Braun go to forums and debates as though they were contenders, yet โ€œeveryone knows LaRouche is crazyโ€ and he doesnโ€™t. Is he really that much more unlikely than Kucinich?
Iโ€™d love a Dem debate where he could go off about Syndicalism, the forgotten man of labor, and neocons. It woudl push the other outside the box a little. Canโ€™t you see Dean nodding in assent?
