1. Yeah! That's why Senator Tom Harkin,

Senator Bill Bradley, and Vice President(my Prez in exile)Al Gore endorsed Dean! Cause .."He can't win!" :)

[SahaleArm]

5. What do all three have in common other than endorsing Dean? n/t

[rogerashton]

8. They are great Americans and progressives?

n/t

13. You noticed that too

didn't you, it is so ironic, yet appropriate.

15. All elected to the Senate?

Or state or National office?

Which one of these things doesn't belong?

[HFishbine]

16. Ummm, they're democrats? (n/t)

19. Exactly Zidzi

2. When your nothing but fluff and image, you have to scare people into

voting for you instead of the more viable/thoughtful and proven candidate.

"But Dean cai'nt wei-in Elmer" :scared:

3. ..with those guys....

DU party mixer?

[mzmolly]

4. adding...

it's quite frustrating to see how many Clark supporters support him over Dean because of this "false issue of electability." Just think if we all voted on substance/record/issues rather than the faux fears put out by desperate candidates we'd make progress.

Molly Ivins suggests we vote our hearts in the primary. I urge everyone to do the same.

6. Thank you

Thank you for that; I had begun to believe that DU was not a safe place for anyone supporting Howard Dean.

7. He can win, the question is why?

As the cartoon says... "Moderate Centrist Pro-gun kind of way.."

Hello progress, let me show you the out!

9. The Dean Tapes...

11. Your point is?

"Yet he also shows that he’s much more consistent on issues — like affirmative action and trade — than some of his opponents give him credit for. And despite the constant complaints that Dean has no foreign policy experience, he demonstrates a good grasp of international affairs."

and

But other frequent guests on “The Editors” don’t believe that Dean ever demonstrated a temper. William Powers, a media critic at National Journal magazine, notes Dean always relished a good debate on the show. “He was combative and seemed to enjoy the combat.” But Powers, who wrote a 2002 article in National Journal about Dean’s appearances on the program, stresses he was never the angry person that his critics accuse him of being. “You never got a sense of real hostility.”

“I never saw him to have a temper. I saw him shoot from the hip,” added R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., the conservative editor in chief of the American Spectator who often sparred with Dean on the show. “That’s a difference.” Tyrrell says, however, that Dean was often prone to “talk down to everyone around him.”

18. Oh, shit! "THE DEAN TAPES" !!

Do you actually fall for that media garbage?

[quaker bill]

10. The Senator says it all

One candidate rose to the top as our best shot to beat George Bush and give Americans the chance to take our country back. That person is Governor Howard Dean....

Harkin praised Dean's straightforward approach to campaigning, saying it brought a breath of fresh air to the campaign trail.

He said the former Vermont governor is "the Harry Truman of our generation. Howard Dean is really the kind of plain-spoken Democrat we need."

12. Why does everyone make the McGovern analogy?

The Dukakis analogy is much more recent and also has more validity.

[H2O Man]

14. That's interesting.

I've said before that he reminds me more of Eugene McCarthy in 1968. I mean that as a compliment. Matter of fact, I respect McGovern and Dukakis.I am backing Clark, but I think more highly of Dean every time I see him. Who ever ends up winning the democratic nod needs all of our support. This is the most important election in our nation's history.

[David Zephyr]

17. You Said It, H20 Man.

"Who ever ends up winning the democratic nod needs all of our support. This is the most important election in our nation's history."

This Dean supporter feels the same way! :hi:
