Dean gears up for last stand in Wisconsin

[rodbarnett]

Even a supporter says situation looks 'pretty dismal'

Howard Dean is pursuing a last-gasp strategy of winning the Feb. 17 Wisconsin primary, but many Democrats, aides and supporters are privately predicting the end to one of the wildest, most unpredictable and most innovative presidential campaigns of recent times.

On the first anniversary of the initial Internet "Meetup" for Dean supporters, which quickly grew into a revolutionary e-campaign and fundraising machine, the former Vermont governor is pleading with supporters to buy into the unorthodox strategy that he can lose 15 states in a row and still turn his campaign around.

"It's looking pretty dismal, isn't it?" said Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.), a Dean backer

1. My spirit to bring about change will die

with Dean's campaign.


I will be apolitical after this.

3. onebigbadwulf,

I feel the same way. Actually, I feel like that spirit has already died. I am very depressed this morning.

8. Don't despair.

Even if Dean loses, our movement will live on. The only way we can truly lose is if we give in to apathy. This is exactly what the power elites want. I truly believe this country is ready for the change Dean represents, but our system may be too corrupt to allow it. But if we can clean up the Democratic Party so that the future Dean, Clark, and Kucinich's of the world have an actual chance, it will all be worth it.

6. same here - I feel chaeated and marginailezed by the party elite

no matter how much the people support someone, if they threaten the powers that be, we can expect an unprecedented smear campign to win over undecided voters/apoloitical airheads who will in turn vote for the 'safe' pick of the motocycle ridin' botox man that looks good on tv

2. Dean has done some great things to get this primary...

season started, he will not soon be forgotten. I reserve the right to hold my comments on Dean's race in the primary until such time Dean comes out & says what his plans are.

GO DEAN!!!

7. I hope he wins!even though i dontlike dean that much i love it that he had

go after the Democratic Weasilship Council and mega props for his grassroots campaign structure
