I endorsed Howard Dean this week

I like all of the candidates--they all bring something to the table. But I like Dean because he fills a massive hole in the Party, which seems to have lost its way.

Reasons:

1) Democratic Party lacks leadership, vision, and backbone. Dean has demonstrated all of these through his campaign. Other candidates present themselves, their views, and their background and expect action. Dean catalyzes action today.

2) While I'm closer to Kucinich on the issues, Dean has shown he is responsive to other views and is informed by a sense of fairness and justice.

I'll actively campaign for Dean here in Pennsylvania on the bus. Hope to see you out there!

what happens to campaign donations of candidates who dont win the primaries?

Does it go into a dem fund for the winner?

As a rule, most candidates spend it all. But I'm not sure what the FEC rules are on surplus funds.

Anyone know?

Are you a super-delegate, btw?

Eloriel, I'm between France for Dean and CalState for Dean in the Webring. How about you?

best of luck to you, too! Dean and our campaign is fortunate to have your endorsement! :D

:kick: I wish I could vote for you but here I am in New York!

You got a Democratic Govenor now...Pennsylvania needs a Great Democratic Senator...i.e. Charlie Crystle! :kick:


~there's something wrong with your link :) "page cannot be found"

People tell me all the time they like my passion, my ideas, my principles, and the way I listen to them. Sometimes, though, they ask about whether I can win, and some of them haven't supported me financially yet. This is the outsider's dilemma, because we don't depend on corporate money or Party favors to raise money. It's a terrible chicken-or-the-egg cycle.

I tell them, they have a choice. they can stick with politics as usual, or they can support what they believe in. If everyone I've met supported the candidate who most closely represented what they believe in, I'd win hands down.

This time, please vote for what you believe in, and support the candidates you believe in. Don't just go for the "perceived" winner. that becomes a self-fulfilling--and self-defeating--thing.

Thaks for your support!

didn't think he had a chance and look at him now!

There's something wrong with your "contribute" link, though!
