Congratulations Kerry Folks on a nice victory from a Dean supporter

[WI_DEM]

Well it looks like the polls were fairly accurate--John Kerry is winning New Hampshire solidly at this point and Howard Dean is a solid second--well enough to go forward, but not good enough to call it a win--unless there is a sudden closing in the numbers.

I want to express my congratulations to Kerry folks on a well-fought campaign. If John Kerry is the nominee of the Democratic party and he certainly is the front runner--he will have my total support.

To my fellow Dean supporters let me say--do not give up hope. We came in third in Iowa last week and were given up for dead, we made great strides this week in New Hampshire and are doing better than some polls had predicted just a few days ago. We are coming in a solid second. We have the organization and resources to go on.

Having said that we do need a win--and soon--we need it for some momentum and to show our supporters and the country that Howard Dean can go the distance. He improved his standing this week from last and now we need to move the next logical step and post a victory. He needs one on Feb. 3rd. He can and we can do it, but without one it will be difficult to continue.

So congrats to John Kerry and good job this week Howard Dean and may the best man win--and I include all of our other candidates in that--John Edwards, General Clark, Dennis Kucinich, and Al Sharpton.

3. This DK/Dean supporter says congrats, too.

And promises to help whoever wins the nomination to beat Bush, which is what matters most.

And also promises to keep pushing whoever beats Bush to the left once he takes the presidency. Because we need some strong liberal popular movements to back up President Democrat (whoever he is).

6. Thank you

This thing is not over but I think Sen Kerry is the best man to take on Shrub. I hope the party can unite when a nominee is decided,

7. Thank you, WI_DEM.

You may officially ignore my post in another thread...It is very classy of you to start a thread for this purpose.

You are truly a Democrat worth the name!

8. A gracious and classy statement WI_DEM.

What I find equally thrilling is the massive voter turnout in both Iowa and New Hampshire. This bodes very well for the general election in November.

The American people evidently want "regime change" in the United States.

9. Very Classy, question

If Edwards knocks off Kerry will you support him too?

[WI_DEM]

10. I will support the Democratic nominee for president

and if it is John Edwards, of course. I support Dean now and I'm not even thinking of who I would support if and when Dean may withdrawl.
