I hope Howard Dean run for President in 2008!
I was watching BET and they did a short story on him. Including all of the sound bites the RW use to try and politically assassinate him, the comments I heard tonight really hit home. He said -- and I am paraphrasing -- if the Right Wing want to get in touch with the African-American vote, they should eliminate voter suppression!

The only thing I wish Howard Dean would do is touch on the DSM a little more. He is feared by the RW, and I believe if he were to start discussing the DSM more, bringing more attention to it, that would cause the RW to really start getting restless.

Other than that, if the elections were to happen tomorrow, and he was running, he would get my vote!

2. Sorry, but...
He promised not to run for President in exchange for being elected DNC chair, IIRC.

5. Oh goodie
Why would we be cheering for him to go back on his word. Yeah, that would be a great place to begin.

He had better not. That's all I gotta say. Because that would taint for me everything he is doing now.

6. All politicians go back on their word every once and a while!
And I believe, if he'll get pushed by enough supporters, I believe he would at least consider it!

4. I hope he does NOT run
He has a job to do. If I find out he's distracting himself from it, I will be mighty displeased.

7. Who else is as strong as he is?
What other possible candidate shows that passion and fire to point this country back in a positive direction.

8. He has grassroots to grow
That is where he will put this country back in a positive direction.

He had better keep his eyes on the prize.
