I went out to the flea market today (it's in West Columbia S.C.), and manned a table for Kucinich. The Southern folk ain't too fond of NAFTA, and they're warming up to national health insurance.

DK is the only candidate on the left who is articulating a comprehensive and visionary economic plan. Some of the others are just sitting back, bashing Bush and getting talked out of taking risks by their handlers.

I am warming up to Dean a little bit. I saw his speech at the Georgetown School of Economics, and I think he's softened his position on NAFTA - I think he's saying he's willing to reconsider it. And I like the fact that he wants to try and reach out to the Southern working class - though he might want to replace "confederate flag" with "Earnhardt Sticker" next time. I think the good doctor had the right diagnosis, but the wrong prescription.
