Reading some interesting tea leaves today |
|
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050125/ap_on_re_us/democrats_chair_2Bob farmer, former finance chair for JK is supporting Dean. Considering that Farmer has been with Kerry forever, I think this is a good sign that either Kerry is clandestinely supporting Dean or at least not an ABD. Hmmm, intriguing

2. Farmer has been with Kerry since, what '84. |
|
And there are other Kerryites in on the Dean race as well. I think it would be fine with JK if Dean won. I think they can work together just fine.
I just want to see the DU/DKos reaction. What's the opposite of a shitstorm anyway?

all over the place. Can't wait. :evilgrin:
There's the Steve Grossman connection as well. He worked for Dean, then came crawling back (:evilgrin:) to Kerry. But he was a longtime Kerry guy before that. He's probably still not in JK's good graces, but is another link between the two.

4. Jim Jordan got hired too! |
|
I know JK fired him in Nov 03, but still.
I really think it's funny that this is so under the radar. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, and I noticed this. Others should have.

Dean hired him a couple of weeks ago to help in the DNC Chairmanship race. Whometense and I were just going through all the folks with Kerry-links who are now aligned with or have endorsed the good Dr. We think this might mean something behind the scenes.

7. I read that all Kerry asked was that Dean be neutral in the 2008 Prez |
|
nomination race and that was it. Dean said yes.

9. OK, that's not going to happen |
|
Hmmm, wonder if the DU:Baiters will be upset, unamused or just pissed off. I guess they will be confused. You mean Dean had help.
I like Dr. Dean. It's some of his more ardent followers who bother me. (And not all Dean followers are Deaniacs. I wonder if they are a source of embarrasement to the good Dr.)

11. Simon Rosenberg who Chris Heinz supports |
|
has been critical of Kerry's campaign also for not putting in place some of the ideas he wants the party and wanted the campaign to do.
so i was surprised when i found out Chris was supporting him but it just shows it's not really that big an issue. i'm sure Kerry's backing of Vilsack had more to do with just supporting a friend especially after he passed him over for vp.

14. Heinz is a member of NDN and knows Rosenberg so I think that is why |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 02:31 PM by Pirate Smile
he supports him.
edit to add: Chris mentioned that he likes Dean and won't be upset if he wins.

17. yes, that is why he supports him |
|
and from what i remember hearing Chris had to say he isn't a liberal like Kerry and much more moderate in his views. i think he is more closer to his late dad than to Kerry when it comes to politics.
so it really isn't a surprise he supports rosenberg after knowing about that.

20. This is not surprising |
|
Of all the others running for DNC chair, who campaigned for Kerry the most? DEAN! Kerry and Dean like each other, big duh to anyone but left freepers.
