He says pay them no attention. Good write-up of the DFA/DSCC event in Chicago House of Blues.

Gov. Dean at the House of Blues
"Michelle Taufmann is a member of the Democracy for Illinois steering committee as well as a DFA Meetup host.

Last night I attended the benefit for Democracy for America and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at the House of Blues in Chicago. It was an incredibly inspiring evening. Governor Dean, surrounded by over 200 supporters, spoke about the "Dean Dozen" and need to support Democratic candidates throughout the country. He emphasized that we need progressive candidates running at all levels of political office, from Library Superintendent on up. In his usual strong, clear, direct manner he once again provided the leadership, hope for real change and marching orders we need to keep working to change the face of politics, establish the debate and to push through the progressive agenda—not only for the November election, but for the long haul."

(Corzine and Durbin appeared among others.)
SNIP.." Jon Corzine, the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, has also been all over the country—from Alaska to North Carolina to Oklahoma and Louisiana—laying the groundwork and doing the hard work of ensuring that the Democratic Party wins back the Senate. It's doable, folks. Senator Corzine urged us not to be discouraged by what we read in the newspaper and hear from polls—the media do not know the real story on the ground in the states with tight Senate races."

Dean and Christine Cegelis, running against Henry Hyde.

they just don't want anyone to know the truth.

4. Words of wisdom from a well respected Dem. "The real story on the ground"

is not being relayed to the public by the media.

5. Wow.

This is the first time I've seen a prominent Democrat sound criticism of the media. Unless I haven't been paying close enough attention.

Of course, it won't matter if the media won't pick-up on it.. :eyes:

6. right

...I just got back from a volunteer meeting (Ohio) for a different county (I'm in Cuyahoga), and the Dem. party organizer for that county said that 13,000 new voters have been registered, and they've even got a backlog, there've been so many registration forms, they haven't caught up yet. And, he told us that Cuyahoga county (Cleveland, Shaker Hts) has registered 80,000. That's 93,000 in just 2 counties - all Democrats.

So cheer up and dig in! It's not over, we're in this fight, and don't let the bastards get you down!

(I feel like going RAH RAH, LOL!)
