His running mate: Nat Goldhaber, multimillionaire founder and former CEO of dot-com Cybergold, Inc. (Goldhaber, by the way has been diplomatically sidestepping questions about whether he will use some of his own money to boost his and Hagelin's cause.) It is not particularly complimentary to say that of the two rival tickets, Hagelin's is by far the more electable...
