Photos of Arizona Rally for Dean Supporters and Well-Wishers

[slinkerwink]

Does this look like they're turning out for a man whose candidacy is dead? No! I'm happy to see that Dean still has a lot of support in Arizona. This thread is for Dean Supporters and well-wishers, and I would appreciate it if there's only positive comments in here, not negative comments.

Thank you for not posting negative comments.

I live in Arizona but am unable to make any of the rallies due to family obligations, but my money goes to Dean to make up for it!!

[janx]

9. I'd love to see Dean clean up in the West.

I hope he has a great showing and a wonderful time in the West.

[Mass_Liberal]

10. I can see them

they're great. We are far from done!

[Cocoa]

11. this could be what saves Dean

the intensity of belief among his followers. It could be that people see this and take another look at him. If he comes back, I will be mighty impressed with the Dean campaign.

[slinkerwink]

13. thank you.

[wryter2000]

18. Thanks, Cocoa

And if your guy wins, I'm all for him, too! He's one of the good ones!

[Mass_Liberal]

31. thanks

[texasmom]

That's gotta warm Dean supporters' hearts. It makes me feel good, too.

64. Dean in Tucson

As a Tucsonan I can witness that Dr. Dean's rally was held in Reid Park, here in Tucson with a very large crowd in attendance. Don't let the Neocons, Pollster's or the media-whores choose the Dem nominee. I like what a previous poster said here at DU, "If you aren't angry, you are not paying attention." If you are a supporter of Dr. Dean stand beside him, if you are not, truly listen to what he has to say before you pull the lever. He was the very first one to voice the problems and the dangers our country has and will have with another 4-years of George W.Bush and Thugs Inc. Dean is a voice to be heard and he has forced the other candidates to explain their own support or lack thereof on the issues that all voters will use to cast their vote. Democrats and now many true Republicans are not willing to listen and vote for the packaged slick Washington politician whose campaigns and promises sound like a high school English project.

I am an undecided voter, yet I appreciate Dr. Dean for speaking out and for his "Anger".....I call it patriotism and enthusiasm for his ideals. I am tired of campaign debaters calling each other "my friend" and tripping over each other with compliments. I don't want a friend in the Whitehouse I want a Leader. Apparently the young people get it...they are not so easily conned as us elders would like to believe.

[wryter2000]

19. Oh, that Dean

He's so angry.

:evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

20. lol

[pjludu]

23. Doctor Dean

Gaw, what a pain getting through all the registering junk to
be able to get on DU and post a reply...my first....

Howard Dean has been my choice for months. If we vote for him,
he is then electable. Don't let the media define for us who is
electable!

He is the one.

[slinkerwink]

24. welcome to DU!!!!!!

:hi:

[Anwen]

27. Welcome to DU!!!

:)

And I agree, Dean is very electable -- if we ELECT him!

[Blitz]

38. Tautologically delicious!!!

:-)

26. I'm disappointed that you didn't listen to my request not to put

negative comments into here.

[Zinnola]

30. Well, detractors just keep on

making me not want to support their candidate and send more money to the Dean campaign!

Great photos Slinker! As a hardcore Dean supporter this looks great for a supposed dead man walking.

[wryter2000]

48. Hmmm

I don't blame a candidate for what his supporters say. Right now, my money is with the good doctor. If Kerry gets the nomination, I'll send him some $$$, too.

32. Kerry cannot beat bush

he is an awful candidate.

I am ABB, but with Kerry it becomes a choice of the lesser of 2 evils...I hate that, because Dean was so close until the media (YES, they did) decided to destroy him...

[janx]

37. He's not destroyed--at least not yet.

33. Right on cue......

we wondered how long it would take?

43. look, I would not come in and spew hatred over a thread that asked

for POSITIVE comments only from THEIR SUPPORTERS AND WELL-WISHERS!!!!!!!

[EXE619K]

46. Please provide proof that this photo is "doctored"!

I'm willing to bet you could easily find 2500 Dean supporters in Alabama.

But, through some Venomous eyes, the truth is, I'm afraid....

"Doctored".

[EXE619K]

45. Same old mem...different date.

It seems that some people are absolutely certain that Dean supporters are being "swindled" by Howard Dean and his "thuggery" type of deception.

I cannot speak for others, however, I'm very well aware of the "Dean record" in VT and it is a proud and cherished record of fiscal responsibility and sound social policies.

Detractors of the good Governor uses the same "hack job" to pull down a common man with a common sense approach to leadership by using the "litmus test". Democrats and Republicans have been nothing but "partisan hacks", beholden to their "party line" special interests and therefore a serious lack of ACCOMPLISHMENT.

People from both sides of the isle can bicker and whine about who is more responsible for their dismal failures. Yes, this accounts for all those failed "legistlative agendas" and the sheer lack of leadership which fosters inability to "get things done".

Yet leadership, requires not only critcising the opponent, but more importantly: criticising your own when they are wrong.
"Cockroaches"? You goddam right! Perhaps it would be better to show LEADERSHIP than...."Oh. I couldn't get anything done because my opponents were better than me".



The bottom line: Is the State of Vermont better or worse off under the governorship of one Howard Dean?

1. Economy? check!
2. Health Care? check!
3. Progressive Social Agendas? check!
4. Environment? check!

No wonder I consider myself an Independent.....

But, that's just my opinion.

[progressivebydesign]

62. This was a happy thread...

This is a nice, celebratory thread. I'm sorry some people had to try and ruin it. The diatribes and novella posts attacking Dean are about as welcome on a postive Dean thread as.. well.. as a fart in church.

Who do you support? Do you support any candidate, or are you just here to disrupt any nice thread about Howard Dean. If you have something positive to say about your candidate, I would welcome reading about it. See.. many of us may have to choose another candidate to support as the primary season goes on, and candidates drop out. It's much more effective to your cause, if your cause is to support a candidate besides Dean, to promote your guy.. all you're doing is making people dislike whomever you support. That's not fair to your candidate, is it?

[PassingFair]

29. Thank you Slinkerwink!

It made my heart soar! Thanks for ALL your posts! Keep fighting the good fight. We Will Win!

[ozone_man]

39. Nice photos, wish I could be there.

Dean really knows how to spark people's enthusiasm. Eventually we will win them over, just a matter of spreading Dean over the country.

[PassingFair]

42. Deserves a

:kick:

[Lisa0825]

44. Great pics! Thanks!:-)

Our local groups in the Houston area are still going strong. We have good sized groups doing visibility outside the Superbowl, and canvassing precincts every weekend. Wednesday night is my county Democrat club meeting, and we will be voting for our endorsement. It's great to see/hear about others keeping the movement going!!!:-)

[slinkerwink]

51. *Thanks Slinkerwink* Great pics!

:)

[pluche39]

54. +++++HD

thank you for the photos!

I've thought that Dean best represented my point of view, way back when this all started. Like many, I too was discouraged by IA and NH, but dammit!, now is the time to come to the aid of the good Dr! I have sent yet another contribution to the campaign and will continue till the Dr is in the WH. Imagine, I had never given a penny to any candidate before Dr Dean, but with * controlling the WH, I had to do something. If this struggle for the soul of America is valid, then put your money where your mouth is! COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!

[PassingFair]

56. A hearty welcome, pluche39

Please tell everyone you know. With the media, the pukes AND the DNC & DLC spewing garbage, we have only word of mouth on our side.
I'm talkin referrals, BABY.
And again, welcome!

55. Those are great pictures, Slinkerwink, and here are some more...

58. It isn't dead in AZ...

But I'd start making plans for the memorial service.

2 polls, one from Zogby, and one from the Arizona Republic have the following results:

The Republic Poll indicated Kerry was the choice of 27 percent of respondents, followed by retired Gen. Wesley Clark (18 percent), former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (13 percent), Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman (10 percent) and Edwards (8 percent).

A Zogby International Poll of 600 voters conducted Tuesday through Thursday had Kerry with an even larger lead, pulling down support from 38 percent of respondents, followed by Clark (17 percent), Dean (12 percent), Edwards (6 percent), Lieberman (6 percent), Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio (2 percent) and the Rev. Al Sharpton (1 percent). It had 18 percent undecided.

BTW, I was polled by Zogby the other night, making me one of the 600 mentioned there.

[David Zephyr]

59. Wow! Those Photos Are a Tonic!

Thanks! :hi:

[progressivebydesign]

63. Great photos!! Dean did really well in Seattle today, I heard..

The local media reported people standing in line to get in. I couldn't be in Seattle today (I'm 40 minutes away), but I knew he'd have an overflow crowd!

I was in Port Townsend today, and there were TONS of Howard Dean and Kucinich stickers and signs. Made my heart feel good. Dean is very well supporter in Washington. I wish he had had more time to visit Tacoma, or another city with more of a blue collar vibe. They are the ones that need to hear his message.
