Some replies:

By Cappur:

And was pleasantly surprised. He proposes Universal Health Care and says it will cost about half Bush's tax cut.
This guys seems kind of like a Democratic John McCain. Says what he thinks. And he probably doesn't have a chance in hell of getting the nomination.

By Sapphocrat:

...a Gore/Dean ticket? Yeah, I agree -- I can't for the life of me see Dean getting the nod (he's too good!)... so I'm fantasizing about Dean as an actual do-something Veep (and the first thing I'd like to see him do is change Al's mind about same-sex marriage).

QueerArt:
His pro-queer stance seems like a great reason to vote for him... But should one risk a Bush win by draining votes to someone who deserves to win... But might not??

Any of these people here today?
