Declan -
        The first primary competition is being held on the internet! The group
MoveOn (http://www.moveon.org) is holding a primary competition to determine
who their organization and PAC will support. If a single candidate gets 50% or
more of the vote, that candidate will receive the "nomination".

        It's a interesting example of the internet as a political tool.

Blurb : http://www.moveonpac.org/moveonpac/062203_pr2.phtml
Register to vote : http://www.moveon.org/pac/reg/

Complete with allegations about "vote rigging" by Gephardt, at
http://www.moveonpac.org/moveonpac/062203_pr.phtml

NOTE : registration is only allowed through midnight tonight.
