Albany Dan sent me a feature article on Howard Dean in Salon, and it was an enjoyable read. I like his candor, honesty, and willingness to stand up to Bush, and these luke-warm Dems.
Sen. Kerry himself said that he'd like to fashion his campaign along the lines of John McCain, yet his language is peppered with "bend-me-over" Daschle get-along talk like this.
Now, I like John Kerry just fine-- and Edwards, Lieberman, and the other Senators running are also fine people. But, to pick a person to lead this party at a time when we're again searching for our souls-- well, I'll go with the Governor Doc.
When I had the opportunity to work on the 2000 campaign, as President of my college chapter, I was struggling to settle on the support of Al Gore. I mean, Bill Bradley was from the northeast, and he was such a cool cat. This election, I have no desire to go with another safe bet. Dean's my guy. He signed gay civil unions into law, he supports a multi-lateral foreign policy, and he says what he means. What more could the Democrats need at this moment? And supposedly, he's been faithful to his wife.

Emilie, are you actually from Vermont, or like your friend Howard Dean from New York. I am a true Vermonter who has lived in Vermont all my life and have roots going back through the history of Vermont. Governor Dean has misrepresented himself on many issues. i.e. ,balanced budget ,etc. I wish he would not associate himself with this state and its people. He would, in short, make an atrocious president. I resent the fact that he calls himself a Vermonter when that is far from the truth.

I like the “Dr. President” idea. Maybe if he chooses Graham as his running mate, he will win the south to easily LICK BUSH IN 2004!

I don’t care what you think of Howard Dean ,but, please don’t disgrace the reputation of true Vermonters by calling him a Vermonter.
