Dean's On His Way to Winning the Southwest

[slinkerwink]

Winning the Southwest

"You were the first to get the news about Joe Trippi's major strategy announcement this morning. Your campaign is gearing up in New Mexico and Arizona -- and this weekend, voters all over the Southwest can be a part of a major grassroots initiative to win these two crucial states: the Southwest Voter Express.

Today and tomorrow, Americans from all over the Southwest will be traveling to Arizona and New Mexico to canvass for Governor Dean and spread the word about your campaign. There's still time to join them -- visit southwestvoterexpress.com or contact a team leader in your area now.

Supporters are discussing the Southwest Voter Express over at Forum for America."

4. I lived in NM for awhile

I just kind of assumed it would go for Dean - a lot of the dems there are fiesty types who'd like Dean

5. Last time they went for Gore over Bradley...

and Bush over McCain. 1992 was a late caucus...

From 6/2/1992 (Caucus):

Clinton 52.9%
Brown 16.9%
Tsongas 6.2%
Harkin 1.8%

6. because Dean's going to do a huge ad buy there in NM
