6. welcome to DU, Liberalism....

the Dr. is in the Democratic house.

[progressivebydesign]

7. Yay!! I think this is awesome!

I'm sorry.. but screw those naysayers that talk about how bad he was for Vermont. Dean is the real deal and he got hosed by the Dems and the media. Good for those Vermonters! A bittersweet victory. ahhh..

[Robin Hood]

29. The media may have screwed Dean

But it appears that folks had their mind made up well before the media doctored scream, as evidenced by Iowa and new Hampshire. Dean didn't have "IT". Neither does kerry, but Kerry has more "IT" then Dean.

8. I voted for him here in California -- never a vote more proudly cast!

[joefree1]

The backbone transplant into the Democratic party was a success. Thank you Dr. Dean.

[shanti]

9. Always knew he was a winner!

That's why I caucused for him in Iowa!!!

10. How can they be so sure with so few reporting?

Kerry 926 40%
Kucinich 104 4%

Not meant as a stab, just a question.

[Jackpine Radical]

26. Because there are only 2500 people in Vermont?

Anyway, good for Howard. I voted for him 2 weeks ago in WI.

[Andromeda]

11. I wonder how things would have...

turned out if the caucuses had started in Vermont instead of Iowa, New Hampshire, etc. By winning his home state right off the bat the momentum might have been his, hence the nomination. :think:

[Voltaire99]

12. That's it, Vermont. Let's secede!

We'll still have the most important natural resource on earth: Ben and Jerry's. ;-)

[LifeDuringWartime]

14. nope

ben & jerrys is owned by some british company now, i think.

[dawgman]

13. too bad it is so late in the game ... Ah well bush lite is better than

nothing i guess. Go kucinich.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

19. Didn't Dean drop out of the race weeks ago?

I could have sworn I heard something about that...

[pennylane100]

23. Dean's name is still on the ballot

and it's a way for his supporters to make a statement.

[pennylane100]

22. I just got back from voting for Dean

in California.

Deaniacs Rock!!!

[Oreegone]

24. Rock the Vote

Rock the Vote with a vote for Dean and stand up for true American principals. Let the Democratic Party and America know what is really important.

[leesa]

25. Good deal!! I voted for Kucinich in my primary because I could

vote my conscience, but I am very glad Dean won this. Both he and Kucinich are good men.

[JetCityLiberal]

27. Dean still has my support

Dean's message has brought so many new people into politics. The more people that vote will show that the true majority of the people have liberal views. Ask everyone you trust "Are you registered and do you vote?"

I was never so proud to caucus for Dean here in Washington. In my precint all but one of the undecided chose to vote for Dean in the end. His voice will continue on. All people in this country deserve to be taken care of before we allow the rich to just get richer.

Thank you Howard Dean.
