Former Connecticut Governor Lowell Weicker Endorses Dean
SNIP:

Former Connecticut Governor Lowell Weicker, Jr. announced today his endorsement of Governor Howard Dean for President of the United States.

Weicker, who is best known for his political independence and his sponsorship of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), said that he was attracted to Dean because of the former Vermont governor's common-sense and forthright agenda.

6. This is good news, Weicker was a Republican
And back when he was still a popular governor, people were considering running him for president.

Then it was revealed he was born in France, and that put an end to the discussion.

7. Outstanding!!!!....If he is Rep. or former....This is a good sign because
It shows that DEAN is pulling both Librals and Moderates
and party affiliation doesn't mean a DAMN thing in this
2004 race, cause the corruption runs deep on both sides!!!

Cheers to Wieker !!!

Go DEAN!!!!!

:wow::bounce::bounce:
