Bob Graham said "Dean's speech laid out a visionary blueprint for America"

[pruner]

just now on CSPAN.

:)

[Renew Deal]

1. Foreign Policy

He said it was the foreign policy speech. Just wanted to clarify.

[pruner]

2. right

I couldn't fit it all in the headline.

:)

[Capn Sunshine]

3. is this worth the time reprinting it here?

or will it just get locked?
because I thought that speech kicked total ASS.

[Closer]

4. Need we any more proof

it's gonna be a Dean/Graham ticket?

[Jerseycoa]

6. Actually

He complimented three other candidates, as well.

Pruner's a pisser. :7

[pruner]

7. did you miss me yesterday…

when I was (temporarily) banned from posting?

:bounce:

[SahaleArm]

8. How'd you get banned? n/t

[pruner]

10. there were a couple of threads that had been locked for being inflammatory

they were then unlocked & a lot of posts (including a few of mine) were removed by the Mods… that put me over the "warning limit" so I was banned from posting for 24 hours.

[Cha]

13. I missed you!

:yourock:

[pruner]

14. thanks

:)

[Jerseycoa]

15. I truly did

I worried that you were sick. :cry:

[AntiCoup2K4]

9. and a great ticket it would be

Not positive it will happen yet, but on the other hand, IF Dean should happen to make the 9-11 coverup a campaign issue, Bob Graham would be a great guy to have on board. Probably wouldn't be safe for him to live in Florida anymore though :-(

[Jerseycoa]

19. Bob Graham

He's the best shot for anybody, truly. He's got it all.

Oh, dear, Joe just said Dr. Howard Dean just became Dr. No, or something. He's repulsive. C-Span.

[bobbyboucher]

5. A real Dem speaks.

What a relief.

[mikehiggins]

11. Now here's a guy who should be VP

Even though I'm adamant for Clark, I think Dean would be loony if he didn't ask Graham on board as VP. Certainly he would heal a lot of the problems Dean faces in the South, and here he is showing that he is ready and willing to get on board the bus.

[pruner]

12. what problems does Dean have in the South?

he's leading in the latest polls of FL, VA, & SC.

[Tom Rinaldo]

16. Way way better than trailing, sure

But Dean has the largest campaign staff and by far the most money and he is in running in Democratic Primaries with 8 other Democrats dividing up the vote. No one doubts that Dean can get significant votes from the Democratic Party core in the South. Can he be copmpetitive anywhere in the South against Bush is the operative question.

[pruner]

18. Dean opened his SC headquarters less than two weeks ago

he has the strongest grassroots organization among all the candidates… that's the key to his strength.

[killbotfactory]

17. Graham's right.

Good for him.

[stickdog]

20. Very profoundly stated.

And a better veep choice than Clark as well.

[dsc]

21. Graham better watch out

People who endorse Howard Dean all of the sudden seem to develop character flaws. Gore was discovered to be an ingrate. Ivins a naive fool. Jesse Jackson Jr. to have fathered an illegitimate child (wait that was false). Graham may be discovered to keep diaries which makes him a loon.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

22. LOL

Only the bravest ones endorse Dean!

[KittyWampus]

23. Visionary As In Hallucinatory?

Okay that was stupid... I sorry Pruner... Glad you're back :)

[KaraokeKarlton]

24. Dean/Graham....Clark was a bit of an ingrate

in his comments about potentially being VP. Graham is a better choice anyhow.

[bobbyboucher]

25. I can't blame Clark, I think he's in it to win it.

If not, he would be better in some other capacity, if not in the private world.

I don't think he wants to be number two. He'd be a fine number one, but it's up to him about VP, and maybe he would rather save his mojo for the future.

Dean/Graham doesn't sound too bad.
