I expect Kerry will have locked it up
pretty much by the end of tomorrow. When he is the sure nominee of my party he will get my sincere and full support, even what small financial contributions I can put together. Anybody But Bush.

However, since Dean dropped out I have been searching my soul deciding where to cast my vote tomorrow in the Maryland Primary. My vote has little bearing on the outcome whether I go with the front runner or not. I have sincerely looked at Edwards, who has potential, but I am not convinced enough. I like DK's positions, but have not warmed to the individual. Kerry, while infinitely better than Bush, has never been one of my top choices, and as much as I try I am having a hard time getting excited about his candidacy.

So, perhaps its a wasted effort, but I am going to cast my vote for Dean. I am going to vote with my heart and with gratitude for the man who started giving me hope that Bush could be beaten.

Take back our party, Take back our country. Happy Super Tuesday to all.

4. Almost went for Edwdards
but looked more closely at his positions and voting history and did not see a significant difference between he and Kerry. I have not found Dennis K to be effective in really getting his message out, and if he has not been able to get it out to me, it would not bode well for the GE. I am hoping that while Dean is no longer in the race, perhaps the continued advocacy of his supporters will also allow some influence on the way we run in the GE, if not the platform itself.

2. Cast your vote proudly for Howard Dean tomorrow.....
I did in Tennessee and it felt great, I felt like I didn't need to take a shower when I left the booth. If you feel strongly about ABB, cast your vote in the GE for the spam sandwich in Nov.

3. I'm doing the same thing by voting for Dean tomorrow.....
and my heart will be glad that I will have made that choice. I will vote for the nominee in the general election, and that's that.

5. Take our country back was Dean's motto...how dare you?
This is what enfuriates me of Kerry, he cannot be original. I will not vote for Kerry no matter what.
