Dean Down?


Found this on www.buzzflash.com

What am I missing here? What kind of butt do we have to kick in order to make some Dems, albeit DLC'ers, understand that for a whole lot of us "Howard Speaks for Me!"

Am I over reacting???

Dean down

Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean has drastically lowered his profile in the last three weeks, but that has not stopped complaints about him from prominent Democrats.

In touring Republican red states carried by George W. Bush, Dean was snubbed June 30 when he went to New Orleans. None of Louisiana's top Democrats -- Gov. Kathleen Blanco, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu and State Democratic Chairman Jim Bernhard -- showed up.

Inside party circles, Dean is a principal topic of conversation -- not all of it, but most of it, unfavorable.

1. Could it be Buzzflash?
We have to let those "prominent Dems" know that they are liable to be fired. How can we find out who they are?

How can we let Howard know we're behind him?

2. I send a monthly check to the DNC, and write in the Memo, Thanks Dr. Dean.
That's how I voice my opinion.

3. There's a big battle coming.
At some point the Dem power base is going to have to fish or cut bait. Most who are fishing right now probably should be cutting bait. They would rather Dean cut bait. Dean doesn't want to cut bait, isn't going to cut bait, and will have to be thrown off the boat to get him to even entertain the idea of cutting bait.

We need to help Dean stay in the boat.

7. OK, I'm with you (I think) but I'm not sure about the bait analogy.
I am ready to roll my sleaves up and fire off some strong emails.

Because there is so much flying around in media cyberspace, I am very afraid that the DLC'ers will squish Dean flat, and it will come in under the radar screen and slip by us.

How dare those yahoos in LA, not show any respect for Dean.

They better not be looking for any funding support from the DNC.

I will pull the plug on my donations if this crap toward Dean does not stop.

4. What are you referring to?
Only one reference I found on the page and it relates to John Dean. Was it recently removed?

6. Give me a break.
Read the articles from Boise and Salt Lake.

This place is going crazy here. You log on and only hear complaints and whining!

Dr. Dean is on a roll. Why all the complaining??????

8. That is from Novak's column.
Consider the source. The snubbing may or may not have happened, but the rest of this is just ignorance of what he is doing.

11. Right Wing Spin
Ever since Dean has begun his rounds throughout the states, it has been reported that he gets snubbed. Dean said sometimes he comes into a town at the last minute and doesn't expect people to change their plans. They do usually make time for him before he leaves though.
