Here comes Dean

[cjbuchanan]

What will happen?

[RichV]

1. Wow. He's sedate.

"My goodness."

[dolo amber]

21. Jesus...

He's probably terrified to *smile vigorously* after the shit storm his being *human* elicited...:eyes:

[Myra]

2. Go Dean! Say and do what you want. Screw the media Hos.

Fun night!

[LizW]

3. Is that his son in the black shirt? n/t

[cjbuchanan]

4. That crowd is huge

It looks good so far. Keeping the jacket on, good idea.

[cjbuchanan]

5. He is speaking of his experience

That is what he needs to do. Interesting that he did not congratulate Kerry.

He is giving a good speech so far.

[FreeperSlayer]

6. Experience in..

...what?

[cjbuchanan]

7. What he did as governor

It has a lot of experience and he needs to highlight it. Just like all the other candidates.

[Baclava]

8. He doesn't look happy...

Who wrote that stumbling speech...ugh..."and we will"????

[48pan]

12. He's doing OK. He'll do better next week.

[mike1963]

18. Uh, probably nobody wrote it. It's extemporaneous.

duh

[Memekiller]

9. If he ends his speech with a YAAAAAAHH!!!

I'll vote for him.

[morgan2]

10. hah ya that'd be hilarious

if he did it, but said it very unnaturally. Forced it out, and said like "thats for you right wing radio."

[EllieDem]

11. The country we were "promised" when we

were 21 years old? Huh??

[robsul82]

19. *breathing deeply*

Stop that. When we were 21, well, when I get TO 21, we were promised a country of community, a country of friendship, a country of love - where has that gone? THAT was Howard's point. Obviously.

Later.

13. he seems to be

going somewhere good now ... we've lost our sense of community under George W. Bush.

Nice.

Tired of us being divided.

He needed to give a good speech to counteract the yaaaaaaaaah, and I think he's delivering pretty well.

And not reading off his paper, like others ...

Kerry's my candidate, but I gotta give props to Dean (and his enthusiastic workers!)

[48pan]

14. If he ends his speech with a YAAAAAAHH!!!"

He'll pick up some votes next week as well. He can turn it to his advantage.

[mike1963]

15. I'm impressed. He's making the best speech I've seen from him...

he's being gracious and upbeat. And I haven't been particularly wild about him...damn, I'm still undecided and the primary here is just a week away.
eeeek

[eyesroll]

16. C-Span's still got the speech

CNN/Faux/MSNBC already cut away.

[HuckleB]

17. Incredible speech!

Man, he was on!

[gauguin57]

20. yeah! he's telling us ...

to be proud to be Democrats and standing up for the environment and not to be afraid to stand up to a popular president who takes us to war without cause ...

The power to change the country is in our hands ...
