Reply #77: Dean was down there trying to defeat DeLay and

[MoJoWorkin]

Delay threatened to sue Dean--do you not remember that? Dean knew we should be trying to take DeLay down, but the DNC did not--evidently.

Dean has great instincts---hopefully the "powers that be" in the old Demo Party won't keep trying to undermine him once he is chair. I fear they will continue to try their sneaky underhanded crap--that is all they know.

Also, on some state and local levels they just try to keep their little empires going, and could care less, it seems, if they continue to lose. Some house-cleaning needs to go on there too. I was a Dem committeewoman and saw it all first hand. I resigned when I was sent a letter telling me I needed to sign a loyalty pledge to Gephardt in the Primary. Also I was anti-Iraq war and was so mad that the party just wasn't listening to the people. I was for Dean then.

Dean has a monumental job ahead---there are years and years of "going along to get along" mentality that will be hard to change.
