Edited on Sun Oct-26-03 07:15 PM by KoKo01
New Dean!.....I've donated to him and gone to a NC "Meet Up" for him......but I don't like what he's saying, about his brother, why he's running, who he identifies with (Truman) and where he's coming from....

I've given to Dean and Kucinich.......NONE of the other candidates to anything for me....except Moseley-Braun and Sharpton! I'm a white Democrat. The only people who are telling me the truth are those two and Kucinich.

I am tired of Dean giving the same campaign speech over and over and over! Health care for Vermont Children, whatever......He needs to get a better speech together to keep my interest.....

Sorry.......it's my honest/gut opinion......if I was on a "Hart focus Group" would anyone listen to me more?

And I will not vote before I would vote for Clark! So I don't want the Clark sharks.......or maybe it doesn't matter.....and I should give Dean more time since my "Meet Up Experience" and now tonight with "Little Stevie" on C-Span.

I'm also not a Kerry fan because of his war vote and the "coldness" of his personality. It would take alot of Kerry talking to ME to get my vote!

I'm now thinking Kucinich...even though he won't make it.....:-(

1. Oh give it up
just because a candidate doesn't say something new each and every time to give you a high, we have these 'revelations'

Enough knocking your own.

4. I hear that from a lot of Dean supporters...
...but that's because we are junkies who are all too familiar with his "stump speech"...

2. Yea, it's understandable
I can see why someone would get tired of Dean's act. He needs some new material.

5. I was just going to say ......
...how impressed I was with Dean. This was the longest interview I have ever seen one on one with him and I like him. He CAN win. I still prefer Clark, but I really like Dean, alot!

7. *nod*
This puts down the "Dean is unelectable" meme. I've also listened to Clark and am impressed by him also....but my heart, mind, and money is with Dean :-)

9. So what good are ya?
Your preferred candidate isn't telling you what you want to hear. Your other candidate can't win. You have candidates you won't vote for. Sheesh! If Clark got the nomination would you come to DU and campaign against him? What about Edwards?

10. I only saw the end so can't say much but Koko
if you prefer Kucinich- go with him in the Primaries! Too many people are saying he is not electable when we all know that WE MUST determine electability.

Yesterday at the SF March, the place was swarming with Kucinich supporters. He is more than electable and we MUST make him the Democratic candidate.

Go with whichever one best represents and speaks for YOU!

11. Ho hum
Ridiculous.

The focus group on C-span couldn't even identify the Dem candidates and you, who follow this stuff daily, complain because you've heard it all before?

In order to win he has to speak to a greater audience than us--and there will be times when he will disppoint someone.
