Strategy for Dean

[usregimechange]

He needs to have nothing but positive things to say for fellow Dems. Dem voters want unity not slaps in the face that divide this party!

2. That would be nice, but...

If any democratic candidate can't stand up to the relatively "friendly" attacks from their party members, how are they going to be able to defend themselves when facing, to borrow a wrestling term, one of the Dirtiest Players in the Game?

Also, as was mentioned today by one of the bobble headed reporters on one of the "news" shows, these inter-party attacks are actually helping to rally support around the target of the attack.

In other words, when Kerry attacks Dean, Dean's numbers go up. And when Dean attacks Kerry, Kerry's numbers go up.

"In other words, when Kerry attacks Dean, Dean's numbers go up. And when Dean attacks Kerry, Kerry's numbers go up." sounds like support for my advise.

7. No, it's not...

There's still a long way to go before the campaigning really begins...
Most of what happens now will be forgotten by the majority of the voters before the New Hampshire and Iowa caucauses. This is the time for name recognition.

Right now, what is good for one candidate is good for all candidates. If the Dean/Kerry rifts gets the news people looking, it helps all of the candidates.

5. Dean is usually positive, not a problem.

I, in contrast, am more of a loose cannon. :evilgrin:

6. I agree entirely

He needs to be hard on the repukes and Dumbya. He needs to emerge as the leader to unite dems against this nonsense.

8. I think he's doing just fine....

good thing no one here is really acting on his behalf....
