Reply #33: I'll always consider it too [View All]

But as far as the senate and staff to investigate are concerned..you might want to look at the total picture of what was being thrown at them point blank. This administration has been flinging shit at us and them 90 miles an hour like a tennis ball machine that flings turds....keeping them off balance by dividing and conquering every step of the way. Our own side is being undermined by the centrists ala Breaux, Miller etc, that I keep hearing MUST be elected in their states because the south is "just different."

It didn't all happen in a vaccuum. Dean supporters DO have valid reasons for supporting him and he HAD my support for SOME of those very valid reasons until recently.
I was never in the pro DEAN camp but seriously considered him.

Until recently I had NOT been an attack dog where Dean was concerned even though I had some issues with his own record.

Howard Dean himself blew his own capital with me...first by SEVERELY mismanaging his opportunity to stand out front by having almost NO presence on the ground in Iowa (reported back to me by an Iowan whose observations I trust and who was pro Dean), second by his divisive comments calling Democrats -Republicans, and finally by his obvious contradiction of claiming he's an outsider but hiring insiders to recover from his errors.

If he can pull it off...more power to him.
Statements by many of his faithful(not you), that they will sit at home in november if he doesn't get the nod tell me the capital to be gained by his very hard work is minimal toward having all of us who are left of center be the majority we deserve to be. He's not uniting anyone but the angry. There aren't enough "angry left" to counter the "rabid right". There just aren't. IF there were...he'd have the states to prove it.
