We all knew this was coming but it is so nice that it is now official. Over at Blog for America they are going nuts! Hundreds of posts! All the old names from the primary days are back and ready to rock! I think it is going to be a tougher fight than we might think because we have to beat the Clinton machine. They already have the Chair of the Democratic Congressional Committee in place and they want total control as always. There are a lot of powerful Democrats working for Dean under the radar and that might help. Personally I have promised that if Reomer (who is "pro-life") gets the job I will organize Democratic Voter Registration Card Burnings and urge people to abandon the party if it abandons its principles. The Birthday of Roe v. Wade is coming up this month. A whole generation of women have grown up with the right to chose. When I was a kid in a small town in the Northwest I knew the women and girls who went to back alley doctors or used coat hangers and died or were scared for life. I will never stand for women being treated like that again. Every time somebody calls me a "Baby Killer" I call them a "Women Killer". Yes, I do have a litmus test. I don't support people who force women to risk their lives and bodies. Yeh, I'm a guy but that doesn't mean I won't stand up for women's rights. I'm also white but I've marched for civil rights too. Dr. Dean is the only candidate in decades that has made me feel like he cared about the same things I care about and he was willing to fight by my side. This is IMHO the last chance the Democratic Party has. They better take a long look at where they are going or they will be walking alone. It is a better day when there is hope.
