I just saw Dean in Concord and I'm re-hooked

Incredible!

First Joan Jett played and rocked then Howard spoke to a huge crowd at the NH Tech. Basically to give his SOTU. Funny how his young supporters almost all looked over 40.

He opened by saying this would be a policy speech. And this is a new speech that was the most inspiring I've seen from him yet. No screaming and no picking on other dems.

And he was interupted 4 times by hecklers that had to be carried out by security screaming nonsense all the way. What Howard did was awesome. When the second kid started yelling and pushing towards the stage Dr. Dean calmly began singing the National Anthem and we all joined in. It was truly inspiring.

This was what I needed and all Dean people need to carry on because we can take back the country!

1. Nice

Whenever I start to doubt Howard, I just watch the speech he made to the the Calif. Teachers Convention. It was so damn stirring it makes me feel so damn proud of him. Sometimes a really good speech can remind me why I support him.

How many people do you think were there? Have you spoken to others in NH? How are they receiving Dean today?

Bet they felt pretty small after that! Way to go, Howard!

Thanks for the uplifting post, NewHamster.

13. I bet more than a few of us had bad dreams last night

My daughter is coming home from school this weekend to campaign because she got so pissed off.

I went down like many folks then got madder and madder all day until at 4 I decided to screw work and go to the rally.

I wasn't down about Iowa I was down about the friggin press never letting go. Doing their bosses bidding.

If I was religious I'd say I think I know how Christ's followers must have felt. I'm over it now and ready to rock more than ever, so is my wife and the entire town organization.

9. So, what are his policies? I've been waiting forever.

[NewHampster]

11. 12:01 Revoke all Bushe Exec orders on the Environment

Revoke the tax cuts. and Balance the budget. A teacher who got $14 in child tax credit for her daughter gave Dean a check for the $14.

and I'm so jumpy I can't even remember the rest but I'm sure it on the website.

16. Revoke the middle-class and low-class tax cuts?

Blasphemy

10. More info

My guess is about a thousand people, mostly past 40.

The hecklers were screaming "you're a liar" etc. But I can't figure out why they were trying to get to the stage.
