7. Hi. I'm going to be checking in regularly.
I went to the 2004 caucuses supporting Dean and was quickly told the error of my ways.:eyes:
2004 was the first year I didn't vote for a Democrat in the senatorial election. I voted for the Green
Party candidate.

Being a first time campaigner I had a very bad experience with the Kerry campaign, but will
spare you the details. I successfully caucused for Obama and campaigned for him independently.

I'm extremely disappointed with this administration and that also goes for the way Howard Dean has
been treated. It was just amazing to me that for all he has done there was no acknowledgment or
support. I know for most of you that was no surprise.

I've only recently considered the idea that there is a virtual coup taking place in the party. I
self-identify as a Liberal and do still support Obama ( not sure if that's allowed here)
as difficult as that is to admit given what has taken place. I do want to see Dean play a bigger
role in the party and was quite frankly surprised he was not given an appointment by this administration.
There is a dramatic split in the party and I want to be sure I'm making the right choice for me.


Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say.
