Folks, it's time to start mellowing out. It looks as though the momentum is on Dean's side. Okay? It just DOES.

I happen to be a Dean supporter. But I am absolutely determined to support WHOMEVER or WHOEVER is our standard-bearer. Yes, even Lieberman. But at this point, it's looking more and more clear and more and more inevitable that Dean will be our guy. If I were NOT a Dean person, and was more ardent about Kerry or Kucinich or somebody else, I WOULD INDEED be looking at the facts and realities as they currently present themselves. And I would be weighing a change of allegiance.

The FACTS and REALITIES are that Dean has caught fire and the others have not. For WHATEVER reason. Dean has won the money race, and opted out of federal matching funds as others have not, so they will be held to limits that no longer apply to him. Therefore, he stands to continue winning the money race since he's now able to grow unhindered, without a ceiling. Further, the megabucks that Dean has collected has, for the most part, come from small donors whose average is about 70 bucks per person, compared to the elites who write those 2,000 dollar checks to the bushies. That adds up to a LOT of people when you look at Dean's totals and what pushed them so high.

I just wish like hell that people would start facing it: it looks VERY much like Dean is going to be it. THINGS CAN ALWAYS CHANGE. I, for one, am prepared for that, and I will readily switch my allegiance if that happens. But for now, I've read the writing on the wall and, to my eyes, it says "Howard Dean." I think, just thinking practically, that Dean is it. And anybody who's truly realistic will likely conclude the same thing.

I also wish like hell that EVERYONE here would remember: BUSH IS THE ENEMY. NOT OUR GUYS. NOT A ONE OF THEM.

So we should act accordingly.
