Good article on Why Dean may do well in the South

[CMT]

From the Charleston Post and Courier:

...But Robert Glenn, co-founder of South Carolina Students for Dean, is no hippie. Born and raised in Spartanburg, Glenn describes his politics as moderate to liberal. He describes his classmates as "too apathetic", and describes fellow Dean supporters as "Deanocrats".
"We're sick and tired of the Democratic party not giving us a message," he said, from the Dean headquarters in Manchester, NH., where he is interning for the summer. "We nned someone who can stand up on a moral ground." Glenn's comments are typical of voters in the region who've lined up behind the former Vermont governor and physician. Most are quick to describe Dean as a state's right governor, an independent thinker and a fiscal conservative, noticeably omitting the issues that have garnered the candidate the most attention nationwide: his support of a civil-union law for gays and lesbians; his promise to reform the nation's healthcare system; and his anti-war stance..."

1. A states rights gov?

Didn't we already try that? Geezus...South Carolina? LMAO. A Democrat will not win this state. If I was running a Dem campaign for President I wouldn't even stop in that freaking state. Good luck to Dean. LMAO

2. if you read the article

they say they like his stand on guns and that is one of the top issue which defeated Gore in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Dean's stands on the guns and the budget and what they consider his independence could make the south competitive. I think Dean could do well in the democratic primary in SC.

3. Yeah, I've been seeing this for a long time

From Virginia to Florida Dean's stance on the gun issue gives the little guy some hope that he can vote his pocketbook and still keep his guns.
