A message to Kerry supporters
Congratulations on your victories tonight. There is no way to deny that Kerry is the eventual nominee at this point. I will support and vote for him in the general election.

However, up until the convention, I will still support Dr. Dean's attempt to bring more delegates to the convention. Dean's campaign has always been about more than getting Dr. Dean the presidency. Dr. Dean has an ongoing mission to ensure that the Democratic Party will continue to fight for it's ideals and to support Democrats in the house and the senate that will help to reform this country and our party.

Please understand that my support for his efforts in no way indicates a support for Bush, Nader or any other non-Democrat candidate. I will 100% support John Kerry and try to get others to support him as well against Bush in 2004. It is too dangerous to allow him any more time in an office he never won any way. Our fight for change in the party is not a fight against the party or it's nominee. Please don't make it to be such.

Good Luck in November. A win for Kerry is a win for America.
(But I still want my country back)

3. I can TOTALLY deal with that and understand that and even
support it. In fact, I gave my primary vote to DK for the same reason.

4. Nice thoughts
Nice to hear someone give their support to the eventual Democratic nominee, even while staying loyal to their guy.

12. Thanks
Being from Maine, i'm a huge Red Sox fan, so we don't think it's all over just because we lost this year. Remember, there's always next season. :loveya:

A win for Kerry is a win for America.
(I'll make that a sig as soon as I figure out how to do that. LOL

6. I guess all Democrats are Kerry supporters now.
It's going to take me a while to mourn before I get on board.

I have incredible admiration for Howard Dean. His win today shows how strong his supports remains. It also shows how great of a Govenor he was for Vermont. I hope he continues receiving votes and I look forward to supporting Dean in the future.

Edwards brought me to the party and Dean just my get me to stay.

8. Good job, the right attitude
I hope to see Dean around for a long time to come influencing the party just as he has for the past year or so and heading it in the right direction.

10. I wish I wrote that.
I'd have to do a find/replace with "Kucinich" swapped for "Dean," but damn, you put my exact postion in much better words than I ever have. Good on ya.
