I have to comment on this as a member of NDN, and a Kerry Supporter/Partisan/Family Member. The leadership of NDN was very supportive of Dean's campaign during the primaries, though they gave audience to all the candiates in there forums. I remember that vividly, because I fought for my stepfather to address the group to strengthen his following.

For me personally, you can imagine that it might have been uncomfortable to be surrounded by Dean supporters (no offense - I have tons of deaniac friends) -- but it wasn't. Probably the best thing I can say is that Simon runs a very inclusive and smart (ie intellectual) organization. Indeed, my first real appreciation of the innovation of the Dean Campaign came from experiences I had with NDN in the early summer of 2003 (ie before the explosive end of the second quarter fundraising at June 30 that really catapulted the campaign to the forefront.)

Btw, I am amazed my post yesterday caused so much debate. It seems everyone was having a slow day at work. Not just me.
