Here we are 24 hours later and....

Since yesterday's announcement by Vice President Al Gore that he is endorsing Howard Dean, you have once again shown the strength of the greatest grassroots campaign of the modern era. Here's what you've done in the last 24 hours:

• More than 7,000 Americans have joined your campaign, bringing the total to 527,320. If you haven't already, join now, and then invite a friend to join.

• You have contributed more than $320,000 to taking back your country. By two million Americans contributing $100, we will defeat George W. Bush and the large corporate interests that back him. Join the $100 revolution today.

• You have sent more than 14,000 notes of appreciation to Al Gore. Send a note now, and show the strength of a united Democratic party.

The power of your letter-writing is tremendous. This morning you made the New York Times, in a report on how your Meetup letters helped persuade Vice President Gore:

(T)he campaign encouraged Dean supporters to write to Mr. Gore, among other Democratic figures, including former President Bill Clinton, to seek their endorsements. A Dean aide said that at an Oct. 1 gathering of 50,000 Dean supporters in more than 700 cities around the country, 2,500 people sent handwritten letters to Mr. Gore asking him to endorse Dr. Dean.

[Patriot_Spear]

14. Can there be any doubt - it's a plot by Rove!

I mean it's not like Al Gore got the most number of votes last election or anything...

7. God what a backlash!

8. Yes- that really put Dean in his place....

If Jesus had endorsed Dean there are folks on here who would question the value of an endorsement from an impovrished, intenerant lay minister.

11. Nah, they'd talk about how Jesus is an AIPAC whore.

12. Not matter what you think of the endorsement, Gore is doing what he said

he would. He said he would listen and he said he would fight for the people not the powerful. He was moved by the Dean campaign and the people who reached out to him and asked for his help. For him this was the right thing to do.
Has it turned me into a Dean supporter? No, but it has made me agree to another look.
