Poll question: The System versus Progress - what are your thoughts?
Edited on Mon Jan-19-04 11:02 PM by shance
This is nothing new. It has been seen in so many other elections. However Governor Dean has ignited passion and inspiration in our party like I have never seen before.

Change is difficult. Perhaps it is even more difficult in D.C. where establishment candidates would rather sabatoge a good candidate versus allowing nature and Americans to take their due course.

What do you think? Is this what is happening? Where is the truth and what are your instincts when watching tonight?

4. Just keep looking forward Ter, well be fine****
One day at a time.

Not to mention the Dean movement has only just begun.

The media is crucifying us tonight, we all know how situations change.

I think most of us know this is ours, it may not result in being ours, but we just need to keep doing what we are doing, REGARDLESS of the results tonight or any other night!!

We are a movement and we are the future.

5. I propose a question...
What about Dean's policies and record constitute change?

NAFTA, Patriot Act, Pentagon Budget, continued occupation, death penalty?

An honest question. Sure his campaign has a life of its own and is an amazing thing. But a campaign does not represent change when in office.
