That's just false, Curt. Buddha-l has been called the most powerful political 
force in the United States. (I forget who called it that, but I'm sure it was 
someone who spoke only the the palin unadorned truth with no hint of 
embellishment or hyperbole.) 

Just look at the effect the official buddha-l endorsement of Dennis Kucinich 
had. He got almost 1% of the popular vote in the Iowa caucus race, despite 
the fact that he did not even campaign there. Just shows you how much power 
buddha-l has in Iowa. In New Hampshire he got 1.4% of the vote. The breakdown 
is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see. 0.4% was what he got on his own 
effort, and the other 1.0% came from buddha-l support.
