1. I'm in SC

and we have 6 DNC members but I know most if not all will be voting for Donnie Fowler but I still have written them and let them know that if Donnie does not get enough votes to make it to the next round and I would like them to vote for Dean.

I still hope that Dean will be the next DNC chair.... the vote is coming up soon.

2. Good way to do it

Go for that 2nd round. Very good idea.

3. "his position against the U.S. invasion of Iraq" (extended)

"He is running into opposition and doubts from many party officials who say. . . his position against the U.S. invasion of Iraq make him the wrong choice to unite and rebuild the party."

They really just don't get it, do they? I mean, not even a little bit. That's one of the reasons he had so many supporters, you stupid gits. I wish these bureaucratic wastes of oxygen would just cut it with the Republican Lite routine and jump ship.

4. I heard on C-SPAN's Hotline yesterday

that 2/3 of the party chairs are going to announce their support for a candidate this weekend. They didn't say who that support will go to. I bet it won't go to Dean. Anyone else hear this?

8. I know the DNC is pretty unhappy with the states that have endorsed

any candidate... supposedly they were supposed to wait or something silly like that.

5. im proud the florida dnc endorsed him.

i am ..... this close ..... to dumping the democratic party.

dean would probably keep me in. i am so sick of the enabling and the lack of real and vocal opposition to true sociopaths and criminals.

7. this floridian is also

I feel he can shape up the party, otherwise we are out in the cold for sure!

10. I was 'that close'

on January 6. Boxer kept me in the party that day. I am still mightily pissed off & if the DNC/DLC hacks decide 2 go centrist and screw the base yet again, well green has always been my favorite color.

I said all thru the election cycle, especially after the kerry's 'electible' BS, the DNC would not hold my vote hostage again

6. Moonies to MSM: Destroy Dean Again.

That's the subtle hint I'm reading here.

9. It continues to amaze me

How the Washington Democratic Establishment is so afraid of GHD! What do they fear? All the people in the Party having power instead of only a few?

GO HOWARD DEAN !!!

11. some say Dean is "too liberal to broaden the party's base"

yeah, Terry McAuliffe, who is as moderate as they come really did broaden our base.
