Solution to Kerry Win, Dean Disillusionment [View All]

[liberalmike27]

Kerry has already hinted at it, if he finally gets the nod, why not go for the anti-South strategy, where he adopts Dean as his Vice President, and his whole organization (there are a lot of us out here) as well as the monetary contributions of us little-people.

This solves the disillusionment problem, as we Dean supporters will have something to do and not feel obliged to go back to the Green Party, or just not vote, or just not be involved at all and go in and reluctantly pull Kerry's lever. We have our room reserved until November anyway, we can keep working for Kerry/Dean, sending our letters, and being a part of the process. Hopefully, Dean can keep Kerry honest, and like Gore, can work on cutting the deficit in a fair way, one that doesn't cut the poor, and enhance the rich.

It also works to solve the stupid "southern strategy" thing, just go for New York, and California, and all of the North, perhaps Louisiana and Florida, and ignore the ignorant South (I live here in Mobile,AL, so I know). Win the North and a couple of big states, save a ton of campaign cash, by ignoring the South, and you don't have to depend on a strategy that hasn't worked too much of the time anyway, adopting one, or the other (VP or Pres) as a southerner to appease the South.

It didn't make sense, nor did it seem like a good idea when I first thought of it, but when you look at the situation as it is, it doesn't seem so crazy. Besides, Dean is in second place too!
