1. I picked "Other."
I think his campaign strategy is excellent. I would have picked issues, but I'd pleased with any of the nine candidates and their stances; they'd all be sufficient. And I would have picked "fight", but I think that's part of the overall strategy.

A very compelling strategy, he's went from a political joke to a political possibility. Heck, some of his more ardent supporters can now call him a political inevitablity, and though they may be overstating his strength, the volume of evidence certainly has expanded dramatically.

So I pick strategy.

3. By all means, do.
He includes all sorts of gimmicks as a part of his campaign. Who's ever heard of a candidate's website having a pets gallery? Or an online fundraising drive with a bat? His blog is the closest to perfection of all candidate blogs I've seen. And add house parties to the list, along with old-fashioned letter writing.

I almost forgot The monthly nationwide MeetUp. This beautiful once-a-month event is pretty much a guarantee that CNN and other major outlets will cover it, in addition to coverage by a significany number of local stations. Very smart.

They way he campaigns is one big reason for why he's gotten so much good press.

5. All of the above!
well except looks. But i picked way he campaigns.

Note cool sig bellow suplied by dean supporters with a free gallery of grfix. Is the comunity feel as much as anything else. Everyone doing thier own little thing to help out and the campaign itself doing its best to nuture it and actually making use of all those little contributions.

I have never seen anything like it It gives me hope in democracy again and i was getting very cynical. Sure hes got flaws but in my mind he beats bush like a whiping boy.

8. It was most of them combined, but I picked
the washington outsider one. I believe that most congressmen and senators are already too married to the way things are to truly be able to change them.
