turning up in the papers and on the news and being interviewed in articles. Wouldn't ya'll agree? Is the same thing happening in other cities?

Hey Tom -- Here's Dorothy Dean! :rofl: Sounds like she's in the can for Obama, so mark South Dallas down for O too! :rofl:

1. And is it a concidence her name is Dean?
I mean how weird is that?
"I know Hillary. I have talked to her personally," Dean said. "I have nothing against her. She is knowledgeable. She's smart. She knows what she's doing. But this is a new wave. It's a new day. It's a new time. And the people have heard the same old promises. They don't know if Obama can deliver. But at least they want to give him a try."

Dean, who has worked in local politics for four-plus decades explained.

"That's the movement," she said. "That's the hope. And he didn't coin that phrase. The people who heard him, who listened to him, they found that. He brings hope to the people of the country. That's why they jumped on his bandwagon. That's why they believe his message. And so, whereas I'm old and maybe should be thinking in the past, I am for progress. I am for the future, for my children, grand-children, great-grand children. I want it better than it used to be."

Man this is exactly right. I don't have children, grandchildren but I'm right there with her ready to turn it over to the next generation.

The Nation Magazine also has a new article on Howard Dean and what stuck me about that one too was their comparison of Obama to Dean. They called Obama - Howard Dean 2.0
I didn't know Obama was one of the DFA endorsed candidates in Illinois. We helped give this guy a leg up. That totally rocks!

7. I've been on TV twice, newspaper once (training caucusers for Obama)
My oldest daughter was interviewed (and shown) for TV while in line for Obama's big Houston event.

My wife was on TV last night while phone banking for Obama.
