My day at Howard Dean's HQ
Quickly following an eye Dr.'s appointment in Burlington, I located and went to Howard Dean's campaign headquarters.
It is on the third floor of a spacious office building in the southern suburbs of the city.
An elevator quietly transported me and when the door opened, it appeared to be a modest looking office.
Many young people intently staring at monitors, while speaking to each other and some being on the phone.
A woman, about my age or older approached me with a verbal welcome.
After I stated my intentions ( leave a donation, pick up buttons, stickers and signs), she briefly left me.
When she returned, I had asked her a few questions and found out that this staff and others "tune in" to DU to get a feel of what Liberals and Leftists are saying and thinking.
I tried to get a reaction from her and others about some of the threads posted here concerning Dean.

"Most are favorable and some are competitive.", said one young woman.

Very interesting answer to say the least, since I have been following most if not all of the threads mentioning Howard Dean.
She thanked me for my support and donation before I left.

5. She did not tell me that...
As this is my first post about Dean...

I got a few answers about issues that I inquired about, but I had to refer to the brochure that I was given to get other answers.
