Reply #11: If grassroots is numbers of people who supported him, [View All]

gave him money, entered politics in a meaningful way for the very first time, then Dean had -- still has -- tremendous grass roots support.

I'm 55 years old and this is the first time I've ever given money to a candidate or gone to another state to campaign for him. And it's Dean that got me to do this, not Kerry.

I so dislike Kerry that I'm not about to give him money, and I certainly won't campaign for him, and I may not even bother to vote (breaking a 30 year habit) because I live in Kansas which will without a doubt go Republican and with the indirect election of the president (the Electoral College) my vote won't count anyway.

Kerry somehow grabbed the "electability" ring, but he doesn't inspire the little guy the way Dean did.

Us Dean supporters put up with a lot of crap a few months ago when the ABD sentiment was out in full force. Well, ABD turned out to be Kerry and pretend as you all might, he's just not half the man, and he won't be half the president Dean would have been.
