2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Count Down [View all]DFW
(54,370 posts)87. Small Democratic board, too, don't forget
Back in the late spring of 2008--high primary season--, I posted something about a meeting I had with Al Gore and Howard Dean, and about how they spoke about the big picture (i.e. the November election) being far more important than primary squabbles, and how both of them had been in a position to find that out first hand. I got trashed right and left with "oh sure, Howard Dean and Al Gore would meet with the likes of YOU?" Saner posters pointed out that on a Democratic board, some Democrats were bound to know others (and a couple of posters already knew that Howard was a personal friend).
