just voted for Dean in MA
I'd been thinking about how to "vote strategically" for the last couple weeks, but when it came down to it, I had to vote for the guy I've been rallying for and sending money to for most of the last year.

I'll vote for the nominee in November, but today it was Dean, because he's the candidate on the ballot I agree with most.

1. Is he on the MA ballot or did you write him in?

2. he's on the ballot
... and he's still got his faithful handing out flyers at T-stops. I got one yesterday. Claims he wants to garner 15% of the delegates, so he has some power at the convention.

I think he's going to get a speaking slot no matter what.

3. I hope you are correct about the speaking slot - turnout seemed very
low at 9 am.

4. to get a delegate
You get at least one delegate every time you get at least 15% in a single congressional district. If Dean is strong in the most liberal Mass. districts, he could get a few delegates. He doesn't need to get 15% statewide -- Al Sharpton has done this a few times, for example.
