He is far more gracious than most of us are, he accepts all the blame for it all.

However, if you can watch this 35 minute speech and still bash him...go ahead. He is speaking truth and speaking honorably.

He will still be making a difference, and the new org will be making a difference.

Stop attacking. He is no threat to Kerry, he will not be VP. Just listen to this and see if you think he is pretending to be what he is not.

This is from June 2003, and he is not out of the race....he is no threat. Leave it alone.

1. Did someone suggest Dean was a threat to Kerry?
I have no problem with Dean. He wasn't my first choice in the primaries, but I ALWAYS enjoy watching/listening to him speak. I think he's a good man, and he's good for the party.

2. Thanks. I wonder that when people start posting attacks.
The post on the front page going after him, when he is no longer running. That is what I meant. The fights about VP do not come from us, but from others. We don't care really, there is more to the DFA plan.

When he starts to get attention, people start posting attacks here. I had not seen much today except our reminiscing about the year anniversary of the announcement.

4. I Am A Recovering Clarkaholic, But
Howard Dean is a class act. I think the man is awesome personally. Unfortunately, most people never really saw Dean as he truly is.
The man has great vision for America, for the people, not the wealthy. Most remember the Iowa "scream" (microphones designed to filter crowd noises, almost all the media use them) which never happened, If you saw other footage of the event, you would notice that the crowd was extremely loud and people present claim that Howard Dean could hardly be heard above the din. In reality Dean was trying to speak at the sound level of the crowd, so it was not heard as a scream. Thank the a-hole media for that little trick! That said, while Dean may be out of the race, he remains a powerful voice for us.

I don't want to forget John Kerry here, because he will win the White House back for those who have not lost our founding father's vision for America, and he has my vote for sure!

5. I love Howard Dean. And he will stay as a player on thepolitical scene.

He put the spine back in the Dem party.

He's a true patriot and a man deserving of respect.

He confronts the power elite in Warshington, fearlessly, and with passion.

But once you're down in that swamp, you've got to play along, to a certain degree. It would be interesting to see how Dean would navigate. I hope he gets the chance someday.
