34. We accomplished what had to be accomplished last night!
I am thrilled.

I have not maxed out yet on contributions so I can give $100 a month between now and July.

As the situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate, I absolutely believe more people will turn to Dennis for clear, sensible answers and plans. It will force the other candidates to get beyond the "soundbites" about the Iraq War and start developing real plans themselves. -- something that will carry some meaning for families with kids over there that makes sense and looks doable.

So far, the others have not gone one step beyond saying they oppose the war. Once they do that, some meaningful discussion/debate can take place and the public will pay attention and demand more of the same.

The same thing will start happening with trade and banking and jobs issues -- all wrapped up in the Free Trade topic.

Yes, Dennis is the catalyst that will force this primary season to start getting serious. By convention time, his issues will heavily influence the platform. No question in my mind about that.

Democrats who want to ridicule Dennis and continue to advise him to get out --- well, they just do not get the seriousness of what has to be done.

It is all about the issues. Not how tall or short someone is!
