Do you think Dennis Doesn't Know???
A snowball's chance in Hell would excite him-But he hasn't got one AND he isn't stupid.So what would he like his candidacy to mean? I believe he is selflessly sacrificing himself (the Right will paint him up as a distraction, or a circus clown-He KNOWS this) to drive all other democratic candidates BACK to the left where our party belongs.
Think about it-Any Democrat can win by simple triangulation and push the nation back towards the center...but the center is the very least we should look for at a time when neocon/fundy beliefs have been reviled...when we have a chance at FDR why would we settle for Bush Lite or one more Nafta supporting Democrat??? If you don't know that this is a nexus for the control of our country for the next generation you haven't been paying attention.We're going to win and the question is "How big???". Halfway between Bush and a Democrat is half a bone at best-It's going to take someone Left of a centrist just to work their ass off to get us just halfway back to the America that we've already lost. And that's where Dennis comes in-we can't vote for Mao Tse Tung in the primary but we CAN vote for a principled candidate who is unashamedly an Old Time Democrat-Unions, Social Projects, Personal Freedoms, and real Constitutional Protections. If we Democrats in New Hampshire and in Iowa, just 30% of us, would just write Dennis on our primary ballots than the rest of our primary season would be a rabid Riverdance of viable candidates moving back to where Democrats belong.And THAT is the gift that Dennis gives-the soul of the party-is that TOO much to write???

1. Go for it!
Surely begging must work sometimes.

3. I'm not begging...
I will vote for Dennis in the primary because I believe it is the best way to effect the Democratic debate.I am otherwise undecided and will vote for the Democratic nominee but want to move our entire field to the left.

4. I'm voting DK
and this is one of the reasons why. The other is that he is the only candidate that represents my interests and beliefs.

5. My reasons for voting and contributing to Dennis1
The rest of them don't make the grade. Some I would even find it difficult to vote for. Period.
