6. He voted for Nader in 2000 but supports Kerry now...
After watching him a few times I'm pretty sure he is a liberal.

7. His show is GREAT
He is a liberal thru and thru! I try not to miss this show now. He asks great questions and is very interested in what most of his guests say --unless they start leaning right -- then he sort of clams up. It is a great show.

8. He hates Bush
I guess that means he's on our side.

11. Really?
OK, I guess I won't diss him anymore. Even though I think that he use to act like a horses ass.

But I guess everyone can grow up.

13. by the way
Dean is just a great surrogate for Kerry. He should be named chair of the DNC after Kerry wins.

15. I totally agree.
That man is one of the best we have and he should be elevated to the highest levels in the party.

16. I was a Kerry
supporter in the primary, but I still like Dean alot. He'd be perfect for the DNC.

17. I went through a lot of transformations regarding my support.
Initially I supported Kerry, and dreamed of a Kerry/Clark ticket, then I became disillusioned with Kerry after the IWR vote and supported Dean, then I became alarmed with Dean's aggressive tactics and, after Clark dropped out, enthusiastically RE-supported Kerry (I have resolved my issues about IWR after Kerry and many others explained his rationale)

18. I did flirt
with Clark for a while too, but went back to Kerry when he got his act together. My wife supported Dean. She was head of the College Dems at UVM during the early 90s. Dean is really a good guy. You can tell that.

19. We have to win, and I think Kerry was our best choice.
I also really like him.

But, hey, Dave, are you watching Al? He's great!

20. I am
I love Al Franken. He's always been a favorite. I loved the Al Franken decade. I love his radio show. I've just started listening over the net.

21. Yes. I've been listening over the net and on XM satellite when in my car.
I used to travel a lot with my job and Air America saved my sanity last year!

22. I don't have satellite radio
Wish I did, but I spend enough right now. His show is awesome. Hopefully, a local affiliate will pick it up soon.

23. I wouldn't have gotten one if I hadn't been on the road so much.
I figured it was a better investment than prozac! Listening to the rightwing 3 hours a day was the pits. Anyway, I hope the channel spreads like wildfire. We desperately need it and many other liberal channels.
