[net.politics] Jesse Jackson's candidacy - Cost Efficient

I heard a over the weekend that Jesse Jackson is saying that he is
running the most cost-efficient campaign ever.  Well, I think he is
probably right.  If you look at the number of votes he has received
versus the money he has spent, I would think it certainly qualifies
as one of the most cost-efficient campaigns of this century anyway.

I also think that Jackson has given a significant segment of the
population the feeling that they can participate in the electoral
process that seemed to be closed to them before.

Besides, he's got both parties wondering what effect he will have
on the election in November.  I like to see things get shaken
up occasionally - keeps everyone on their toes.
