Dean momentum builds in Georgia (AJC)

[dajabr]

Supporters of presidential hopeful Howard Dean are getting a head start over rival campaigns as they move toward Georgia's presidential primary, still seven months away.

The Georgia group, already hundreds strong, appears to be a genuine grass-roots effort. Many of its volunteers are political novices who signed up through the Internet.

"I have never been involved in a political campaign or so disgusted with a sitting president before," said Allen Broyles, 37, of Atlanta, who volunteered through the Internet last month.

Broyles, an administrator at an independent school, cited the Democratic candidate's opposition to the war in Iraq and Bush administration policies on the environment as factors that spurred his involvement.

5. Dean needs to focus on the South

if he wants to win in the main election.

He should play up his pro-gun stance and populist rhetoric. Dean should embrace the hard working people of the South.

6. Good for Georgia!

And all those People who have never been involved in Politics before.

I'm new to politics myself since 2000. I supported Gore and he won only I'm suppose to "get over" that.

NOw I am full steam ahead for Dean! And am really encouraged by reports like this!
