Pro Dean callers on CSPAN

the first 3 callers were all democrats who were pro Dean and anti Kerry and anti DNC.

Regardless of their support, it looks like the media's "unelectable" meme was pretty effective.:-(

1. It's just the fear mongering strategy

So many know Bush is likely the worst president ever and will do anything to get rid of him. That means they'd even vote for who the media tells them is "electable" (electability being a media creation itself) instead of who would be best for the job.

America grows more pathetic by the day.

3. Let us not ignore the actions of kerry. This caller reflects the

anger many democrats have at his campaign strategies which segregate the party. Kerry assumes the voters will follow him blindly and fogive and forget just to beat *bush. I tend to disagree with that assumption. The caller appeared to want to send the DLC/DNC a strong message. Don't eat your young.....

cutting off your nose to bite your face? Nobody is eating their young, whatever that means.

L'est you forget, there are more baby boomers than genXers. Did you think we would just roll over?

5. saw it

I agree that the Domacratic party was set against Dean I take exception to their call for him to turn independent and fight on...

I think he will have to political future if he can't imfluence people and bring them to him.
