Come on, Howard, I know you can do it today!

[Padraig18]

As I said on Sunday, a win or a credible second-place finish will keep me on board, so go knock 'em dead today!

:)

1. I'll be impatiently awaiting the results too!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

2. I'm rooting for Howard too today!

The press of the horse race is good!

[Padraig18]

3. Exactly!

:)

[dave29]

6. Welcome to the team

;)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

7. Hey. I have ALWAYS been on the team

:dem: the Democratic team!!!

[demnan]

4. Howard

was on CBS this morning. He realizes things aren't going good but he still has the spirit. Of course it's easy to be optimistic when things are going your way, but Howard Dean shows leadership by staying in the race and shouldering on for the supporters who love him.

That shows real leadership!

[liberalnurse]

5. This is only beginning of our fight

to take back our country.

[GodHelpUsAll2]

9. My fingers are crossed

And I am praying a LOT today. My faith is unshakable. Go Howard!

[Robb]

8. Give 'em hell, Howard!!

:bounce:

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. How's he polling

against Kerry in Wisconsin? I really hope Dean does well. Best of luck! :)

[Padraig18]

11. He's second.

With TONS of undecideds. There are also quite a few cross-over Republicans expected to vote in the Democratic primary.

[Sensitivity]

12. This is an OPEN primary. So polls of Dems don't mean much. Indi vote

could make the difference

[HuskerDem]

13. While I still would like to see Kerry win, the press and pundits getting

knocked on their ass would be more than worth it in my book.

Best of luck to you and your candidate. May you have a good day today.

:toast:

[NoPasaran]

14. Come on Howard!

We're pulling for you in Austin.

[Snivi Yllom]

15. Go Howard GO!

:)

[pezcore64]

16. i have a feeling

he'll get atleast 2nd and im going to stay on board until he says other wise.

what i found crazy was that on CNN yesterday, they had a couple radio talk show hosts from WI(a femalerepub and male demo). the female said she had been telling her listeners to go out and vote for dean... now...
some people would go "oh, they want dean" which is far from the truth. dont people see what they are doing? whats the best way to get you to not like someone if ? say republicans like him! lol!
i wonder how many repub talk shows have acted like they actually like dean for the sake of trying to make him look bad because of the fact.

[jansu]

32. "White House says they don't want to run against Kerry.........

but would love to run against Howard Dean"....do they lie about anything else? Why are Democrats believing them on this one?

[burning bush]

17. Come on Padraig, I'm rooting for you!

Dean's job is to win delegates, knock out the competition one by one.

So far, that is working!

Give the guy some credit!

When the contest is just Dean and Kerry, then we caqn have some fun.

Remember, it aint over till Kerry hits the magic number, and millions have not had a chance to vote!

Don't help disenfranchise any more states, ok?

[mopinko]

18. fingers, toes crossed

a strong second would make me go donate again. this coronation is so bad for our party. electability is so sickening as basis for decision making. what does that mean even? grrrr.

GO HOWARD!!!!!

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. If Dr. Dean shows a strong second:

I will send his campaign $50. If he wins, I'll make it $100. If he doesn't do either, I'll still send him $50, just for staying in!

:)

[Anwen]

29. Thanks Cuban Liberal!!

That is really kind and generous of you!!! :D

[Cuban_Liberal]

20. Kick for the Dr.!

:)

[WI_DEM]

21. I think the good doctor will do surprisingly well today

Lots of excitement. Good crowds. Strong volunteer staff. We put in lots of money and time. I think the Gov will do alright.

[mdmc]

22. IF you were a common WI GOP member, how would you vote?

Would you vote fro Kerry to help end the primary, or would you vote for one of the othr dems, to keep the party from unity?

[Cuban_Liberal]

26. "...to keep the party from unity?"

Just a bit of a negative way of looking at it, isn't it?

[mdmc]

28. well, a vote can either solidify Kerrys lead

or help to chip away at his "support".

[Cuban_Liberal]

33. True.

It just sounded terribly perjorative, the way it was phrased, i.e., like it was a bad thing.

[janx]

23. How's it going so far? Any news?

?

[LuminousX]

24. I'm with Dean to the end

but I hope he realizes that he can offer more than being President and reserves some energy and gumption for that instead of blowing it all on this effort.

[mzmolly]

27. I agree LX, and am certain that he is thinking of the future

regardless...

[JVS]

25. GO DEAN!

[chocolateeater]

30. GO HOWARD GO!!!!!

:bounce: :yourock: :bounce:

[Anwen]

31. Goooo DEAN!

I'm pretty confident he will get a solid second place finish today. But here's hoping for a first!!! :D :toast:
