Reply #23: I wholly agree with:

"Iowa, a small state, elected our nominee. The rest of us had no choice."

As for:

"Many many applauded him for that.....I was watching the guy drone on forever having his say. There was a whole lot more to it. Dean is very gracious about losing. Most of us are trying to be."

I was just worried that Iowans, perhaps, didn't understand that Dean's/our anger was at this administration, and at the fact that George Bush could/should/would never be considered his/our neighbor.


And, as for:

"I have a daughter in Iowa, and a very smart granddaughter. They know a lot of what happened, and they were very angry."

I have no knowledge of what actually happened in Iowa, and simply felt badly that a small thing may have wrongfully defined him.

As a matter of fact, notwithstanding the foul-play you mention occurring, you've helped me feel better; sort of like, glad to hear he didn't 'shoot himself in the foot' over some little retort.

Thanks mad! :)
