Meet Randy Nielsen, "Democratic leader"

Hey, Howard Dean and the Democratic National Committee, you might want to scrub that direct-mail list.

Who should get a copy of the "2007 Grassroots Survey of Democratic Leaders" (and the obligatory request for a check) but Randy Nielsen, a well-known political consultant in West Palm Beach who is even on the Republican Party payroll, for gosh sakes. The owner of Public Concepts, LLC got a good laugh out of the flub. "How could they be so misled?" Nielsen asks of the Democrats. See for yourself.
