"I think I'll give him a second look, if the media doesn't mind." (Dean)
this sums it up....
------------------------
Gloria Kelley, 53, a union worker who attended one of his events, said she still has her doubts about Dean.

"He was over the top, wasn't he?..." she said, echoing the sentiments of many Democratic strategists and rank-and-file voters. Then a smile crept across her face, and she said, "I think I'll give him a second look, if the media doesn't mind."

Quite an insightful comment. The media are clearly pushing harder than the people "want". Keep it up media.

1. Good for her.
She's old enough to know that the media will excoriate anyone who gets the dem nomination.

3. NH voters are rebellious
If they get even the slightest whiff that the media is trying to influence their vote they will do just the opposite of what they media wants them to do. NH loves being the first primary in the nation and it's not at all unusual for them to do just the opposite of what Iowa does. It's like NH having the last word on the first word. :shrug:

4. Dean has backbone
Where were the wimpy Democrats when and after the Patriot Act passed. They could not even say, let us read it first.

I did not know what bellicose meant until Bush went bizerk for a war of aggression while we had the country surrounded and hundreds of inspectors on the ground. Dean was the one that charged into the Nazis and their media and did not accept the attack on his patriotism.

I am not for handing the nomination to Edwards or Kerry because they were there and did not even speak out. Someone should have been shouting that our government of the people is gone. I am a diehard DK man, but I would be just as happy with Dean if he would speak out on the failure and abuse of Constitutional power the government has used to carry on with the WOD.

Good luck to Dean in NH and good luck to The Man, Dennis Kucinich.

5. Right on!!!!! And don't forget my friends--your guy is next
If you think the pukes and their media mouthpieces will stop at Dean, I got some news for ya---as some my Clark supporting colleagues are finding out.

Only REAL unity can protect us.

Those who have enabled and participated in the recent attacks have played into the hands of the pukes--just as we warned.
