If Dean is the nominee will you do much more than vote in November?

[Gman]

I'm not sure how much if any work I'd do for Dean as I'm convinced it would be a lost cause. I'll vote a straight Democratic ticket like I always do. But right now, I'm thinking that since Dean has this massive "energized base" they won't be needing my help or anyone else's help.

I'll start my letter writing campaign for Hillary in '08 in the meantime.

[edzontar]

1. A self-defeating, defeatist point of view....

So you would sit by and let Bush win again?

[TSIAS]

2. I'll do whatever I can

I live in Florida and understand how important it is to deliver this state for the nominee.

[wryter2000]

6. Good for you

I'll be working to win California for whomever is the candidate.

[T Roosevelt]

3. Blah blah blah

waaaaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaaah

Guess you prefer Bush...:eyes:

[Gloria]

4. Well, I'd vote but would put my energies to the local Congr. campaign

I just signed to get Mark Steinborn on the ballot for Dems....he has worked for Sen. Bingaman as his field guy. There's another potential candidate but he would have to move into the district and I don't think that will fly!!~

So I will work to get Repuke Pearce out and our Dem into the 2nd Congressional seat!!

[Scott Lee]

8. Pearce!! RRRRGGGGG!!! What a jerk.

Isn't he the moron who announced to the Las Cruces Sun Times that "we have way too much public land"?

What a crapcake.

[Gman]

9. Actually, same here

The local sheriff is going to need some help. He's an old friend and I want to be sure he gets back in. I have a cousin that's a county commissioner a couple of counties away. I want to be sure he gets in too although he won't have too much trouble. And depending on how the congressional districts end up in Texas, I want to be sure my congressman gets back in too.

[onehandle]

5. Whoever comes out of Boston...

...gets my full support, a big check, and all the time they need from me.

ABB, Baby!

[Scott Lee]

7. With that attitude, it will be a good thing you not to help Dean.

I appreciate your candor on this matter, but would suggest you review what it takes to win elections.

[AntiCoup2K4]

10. Are you gonna write some re-select the Chimp letters too?

Hey, I have a lot of suspicions about Kerry, but in the one in a billion chance he got the nomination, I'd bust my ass to get him elected, because even if PNAC is dictating his foreign policy, at least his domestic agenda would be something other than tax cuts for billionaires and selling off government to corporations and right wing churches.

If Wes Clark wants the Moron out of office, he'll be helping the nominee. Why wouldn't you?

[Gman]

12. Why wouldn't I?

I'm going to be really busy.

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. I would work for Dean

But I will not be nearly as effective campaigning for Dean as I would be for Clark, because I strongly believe in Clark PLUS I want Bush out. If Clark isn't running I will still want Bush out. I probably won't neglect my own business to the extent that I do for Clark's campaign

I am much more effective when I really believe in my candidate. Clark got me to cross over from being an exclusively grass roots activist to entering mainstream National politics. I am sure many Dean supporters would feel much like I do if the roles should be reversed and Dean isn't the nominee. Such is life.

[robbedvoter]

13. I don't waste my energy with crazy scenarios - I am aiming to WIN

the nomination. Didn't get my reality check from the media for the oast 3 years - why start now? It was election lies that opened my eyes in the first place.

[HFishbine]

34. You are "aiming to WIN the nomination?"

I didn't even know you were running. Good luck!

[Padraig18]

14. I will do everything I possibly can.

Not just for Gov. Dean, but for our senatorial candidate, and our congressional candidate, our local candidates, etc. . I will NOT surrender one mopre inch of ground to those Rethug bastards that is not drenched in political 'blood'--- theirs!

[eileen from OH]

15. And, this, ladies and germs. . .

is a prescription for how we CAN lose.

Jeez, talk about your grinches.

eileen from OH

[Scott Lee]

23. When you're right, you're right eileen.....

And YOU are right.

[quaker bill]

16. Yes

I will continue to contribute and will continue to work for the Dean campaign.

Further, I will contribute and work for the Democratic candidate regardless of which one is nominated. I will not sit by and allow 4 more years of Bush* to happen for the lack of my support.

[cavebat2000]

17. Quaker bill...

DANG STRAIGHT!!!!

[Padraig18]

19. Tell it, quaker_bill!

The future of our Republic is at stake, and I can't believe people are going to sit on their hands! :grr:

[bowens43]

18. You're right,

we don't need your help.

[maddezmom]

20. probably not

but a lot has to do with my ex-pat status.

[salinen]

22. I can't wait to support

the nominee. He/She will need us more than ever.

[maddezmom]

24. it's more difficult when you live overseas :)

[meti57b]

21. I'll donate to Dean if it looks like there is any chance at all he can win

Although, since 2000, everyone I have donated to has lost except Mary landrieu.

I think Clark can win both the primary and the general election.

[RetroLounge]

25. Whatever.

Like I believe you'll even vote...

[mot78]

26. I'll work my ass off for Dean if he's nominated

ABB

[jonnyblitz]

27. you can stay home and pout. I will cover for you.

I will work for whomever the candidate is and there is NO candidate that will make me grab my ball and go home.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. I'll join that "massive energized base"

and do everything I can to help him get elected. Whatever my feelings are about Dean right now, I don't think this country can afford another 4 years of Bush, and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't do everything in my power to help get him out.

[bearfartinthewoods]

29. i don't think so.

see, i have a problem. i can't lie very well. it shows on my face like a flashing neon light. i just don't think i could go through the mental gymnastics i see the dean people doing here as they try and spin their defenses.

i think i'll concentrate on spectre, instead.

[retyred]

37. Well said

I don't lie, to others, and most assuredly, not to myself.

“good night paul, wherever you are”
So I read this book

[poskonig]

30. I'll probably end up helping Clark, Dean, or whoever is nominated.

Lieberman would be a bitter pill for me to swallow on a personal level, but everyone would get my support.

[Kool Kitty]

31. Hell, I'll do the best I can for

whoever gets the nomination. I don't see how you can do otherwise.

[LWolf]

32. Sure.

I'll vote in November, and I'll put my time, energy, and campaign $$ to work electing dems to the senate and the house.

[caledesi]

33. Dean is a winner. Did you hear his foreign policy speech? nt

[mandyky]

35. If Dean isn't the nominee, I doubt

I doubt I'll do much more than vote.

[neuvocat]

36. I wouldn't do anything for Dean.

I happen to be with the Green Party. I see Dean for what he is-a hyppocrite who is the very sort of insider he claims that he is running against.
