Howard Dean gives Republican voters the strong, principled alternative

[Guaranteed]

they need to ween themselves away from the neocons.

I believe that a solid portion of those voting Republican are voting that way because they just don't see the weak DLC Democrats as believable, honest leadership that they can put their trust in. I see this in some of my girlfriend's family. They understand much of what is wrong with the Republican leadership- but the thing is that they believe the Republicans. They know what they're getting with the Republicans. And if the Democrats can't stand up to the Republicans, who are fellow Americans, who will they stand up to? It's the strong devil that they vote for instead of the weak devil that votes with and bows down to the strong devil.

Howard Dean represents the strength of the very real principles that we see in the Democratic grassroots. He's not crazy. Nowhere near it. We all know that. We all can see that.

And they can see it, too. They're truly not stupid. They just don't vote for Democrats because they can't trust them, which is in turn because Democrats don't trust themselves.

Dean has faith. He trusts himself, his beliefs and his supporters. He puts his faith in the truth.

It's just leadership. And when it comes to governmental representation, that's what it takes to win votes. The sooner the Democratic Party as a whole comes to realize this, and ACTS on it, the sooner we will take back the House, the Senate, and the White House.
