Out of blocks fast, but can he broaden appeal?

My interview made the final cut. I'm in the third paragraph. Yipee!

Go Dean!

2. To keep the 'mo', Dean must keep on 'me'....

his momentum comes from his message. If he moderates it, he sacrifices his best advantage over Kerry, Lieberman, and Gephardt. Not only does his message draw Democratic voters who are pissed at our party's wobbyness during the last eight years, but he draws those who feel that our demolished party must be rebuilt. It will not survive with just another makeover or paint job. It still has a foundation, but the house itself has been rotting away with age and corruption. The time has come to build a new party on the same foundations laid by FDR and Truman.

Without this message he will sound like another Kerry on healthcare, another Gephardt on the war, and another Lieberman on taxcuts. And he would lose this momentum...his most effective weapon against the connections, organizations, and endorsements behind these other three candidates.

5. Yep, tried to give DU some free publicity
I told the reporter about DU, but guess he couldn't fit it in his article.
