49. If it is true , why not???
Grewup and lived early adulthood in South. I am a Kerry supporer.
There is something about Dean"s personality that makes it so he can get away with things some other candidate might not be able to carry off. He surely can ask why your you re=elect Republicans year after year and never have anything to show for it.

the South has been more and more Republicans since the 60s and Integration.When the laws were passed Democrats became Republicans.
There are congressman now Shelby, Lott and on and on who now Republicans who were democrats.For years in the south the Republicans have used the Social Issues or cultural issues whatever ---last week of campaign throw out red meat scaring the people who
vote or smearing the opposition candidates with anything from race Homosexualisty, Socialism Communism. This distracts them from considering who will do the best for the sate county or city.
Why the Democrats have not recognized that this is what goes on and waged war against it--I will never know. Best example--what the Bush Campaign did to MCCain in S. C. MCain was acussed of everything.
He had an adoped child Mother Therese asked his wife to give ahome.
the MCCains did this. In South Carolina, thephones were filled with messages-- MCain had an illegitmate child. They firghtened them by saying MCCain would let the gay agenda pass and the the gays would be after"your" children. He is a major war hero but that did not stop phone calls and flyers questioning his patriotism . Most southerners do not even vote because of this which is of course the wrong reaction but our party needs to get in there and do some serious work. Poor turnout benefits the Republicans and they know it.They use race by saying --only blacks gays and feminists are democrats. Blacks and other ethnic groups take your jobs.
Without a strong party effort this is hard to overcome.

The National Media said Bush Campaign did it what it had to do to win. Where is their morality????
