I've learned to appreciate Dean

[Joe the Revelator]

In the past week I've really come to be a bit endeared by him. My support is still FIRMLY behind Clark, but i wish Dean support and actually find myself pulling for him ahead of Kerry

1. Kerry keeps falling in my opinion.

This just reaks of Dukakis all over again. People flocked to Dukakis because he looked like our best chance and look what happenend.

9. Kerry would be a dukakis replay...

2. I have put Dean in my second spot since Iowa.

He did great to night on his speech!

4. Me too

I'm a Clark supporter but I repect Dean which is more than I can say for most of the other candidates.

5. Glad to hear it.

Clark is my number two, and I'm very happy to have such a wonderful number two.

Alas, Kerry has practically fallen off my list in the last week.

7. I've always respected Dean and what he's accomplished . . .

he's the first person in years to really change how campaigns are conducted, and that's a legacy that will remain . . . so many voters interviewed tonight said that one of the primary things they based their votes on was who would give Bush the best fight . . . and with foreign affairs such a prominent and important issue these days, I believe that Dean's lack of experience in this area is hurting him, while Kerry's service on in the Senate and in the military is helping him . . . but he has a great deal to contribute, and I really hope that he has a major, substantive role in whatever Democratic adminisration takes office in 2005 . . .

8. Absolutely ...

he's the first person in years to really change how campaigns are conducted, and that's a legacy that will remain . . .

For all the analysis of the people involved in Dean's campaign ... it remains fascinating that they created an unprecedented phenomenon ... and one which was not merely a different or better way to do politics .... but one which was more human and in touch, spontaneous and democratic, then any other campaign.

10. I've learned to appreciate Clark this week.

I'm with Dean but Clark is real and I can see that.

Go Dean!

Go Clark!

11. same here

I was glued to C-SPAN watching the various NH appearances by the candidates this past weekend and must say, as a Clarkie, I was really impressed. And I too hoped that he would defeat Kerry, although for the past several election cycles #2 has been the Charm:
- Bush 41 in 1988 came 2nd to Pat Buchanan
- Clinton in 1992 came 2nd to Paul Tsongas
- Bush 43 came 2nd by a whopping 19% points to John McCain in 2000

Kerry has dropped precipitously in my opinion because of how he attacks fellow Dems. I was particularly disgusted at how Kerry, Liebermen, and Gephardt dumped on Dean in Iowa. When I listened to Dean directly rather through the filter of newsreaders (cause they sure as hell aint journalists), he endeared himself to me well.

Go show, Dean supporters.
