78. As one of those you argued with you
(months ago...where'd you go?...I was counting on you hounding the Pug Convention and reporting on the glorious aftermath...think you moved to *gasp* Cali), let me say this:

I have reservations about Dean. Is he what I think he is? Although I agree with a lot of what he's saying, will he really try to implement it? Is he just another politician whoring for a vote? The answer keeps coming back to the campaign. Usually a politician has to whore for votes by reducing it to the common dollar denominator(Corporations and well-heeled contributors). Being the first Dem candidate to forego matching funds and fund himself by small individual contributions, he might also be the first to get rid of his pimp or madame. It's almost too tantalizing not to give that reality a chance. I've been fooled before but who else is offering the chance to see if the common man still has a voice? It's still a crapshoot, but if you know the math and the other guy doesn't, even craps can be a successful venture. Here's to hoping for a 7.






I hope you get the 7 you're looking for, too. Whoever, or whatever, it is.
