So I was looking through the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle editorials today and low and behold Eric Rohr, the graphics editor, wrote an article about the DLC not liking Dean because Dean was too liberal. Mr. Rohr refuted the claims and said Dean could win Wyoming. While I can't see Wyoming voting for anyone except the Lesser Bush I thought I'd write a nice response in the paper's "thumbs" section, here it is:
Thumbs up to Eric Rohr! Eric Rohr’s editorial about Howard Dean and the DLC was wonderful. While I'm still trying to decide which candidate I like best, between Kerry, Dean, and Graham, I think discussing the Democratic Leadership Council’s view that Dean is more liberal than he actually is should be covered more in the news, so I’m glad someone finally mentioned it in our paper. He’s right, Dean’s record is neither overly liberal, nor overly conservative. If Dean becomes the Democratic Party’s candidate for ’04 he has the potential to carry Wyoming, because of his policies as well as his personality. If Mr. Rohr keeps up good work like this I see him moving from graphics to politics! Good show!
Who knows maybe the conservitive "our view" section will get a fresh voice once in a blue moon. I've been trying to "liberate" (or would that be "liberalate") our opinions page for quite some time. When I was still in high school I responded to a guest columnist who thought that until Roe v. Wade was overturned NASA shouldn't get any funding (they had found life on Mars, but not inside a women), and that teachers were currupting our youth instead of teaching them how to write. I inked this guy up pretty well. He never wrote another editorial, I guess the clincher was that I corrected his grammar... Do any of you who live in conservitive states try and "liberalate" things?
