Dean beats Bush - now what?

Let's say Dean wins the primary, and defeats Bush in the general election. What happens to the Dean organization? What happens to the grassroots supporters energized by the campaign? What happens to the blogs, email lists, and meetups? For that matter, what happens if Dean loses?

Can the Dean organization, the "new grassroots" survive without Dean?

or stay active and make sure that from that point on, the party doesn't take its base for granted. if he runs as a progressive, then we remian vigilant and hold his feet to the fire on his promises

remember, a certain arkansas governor ran and promised that our nation would stop selling labor out and would stop 'coddling dictators' in china with most-favored nation trading status. we know where that got us.

we certainly shouldn't go back to bed the night after

OK you can tell Dean is not my #1 Choice. But whomever wins the nomination I'm gonna work my ASS of to get that person elected.
So I'm sure I'm gonna make great friends regardless of the campaign. I might even find a HUSBAND! Wouldn't that be nice...handin out flyers @ the mall, he comes to pick me up for a rally, we drive to the candidates hQ (we voted absentee) and stay the weekend before the 2004 election tuesday...The Democrat wins...we share 2 bottles of bubbly to celebrate...he falls a sleep in my room...boom! We get married...start workin on the new campaign...by the time 2008 rolls around we already have a set of twins and a bun in the oven Due election nite 2008!

And we live happily ever after....

A girl can dream can't she?

Its a wonderful dream.

He's got a whole lot of work to do to repait all the damage this imoral, illegal administration has done the America and the world. It may even take two terms.

roof. All the Anyone but AWOL people will look at Dean with new hope for a better america. Dean will bring the country together like no other president before him. I know it.

run for office, and to help elect as many Democrat House Representatives and Senators as possible so that Dean has an easier time working with Congress.

I suppose the only alternative would be to join the Presidential campaign no matter who the nominee is.

in '06.

a dup :dunce:

I guess the people who are serious about changeing the world will go on. You don't need many of them.

It'll be a bitch.

then a large grass roots organization would be more important than ever, for pressuring Congresss, for the mid-term elections, and beyond.

1. Conspiracy w/Jeb to illegally remove Blacks from Florida Voting rolls in 2000 election

2. 9-11

3. Training of Mohammed Atta and other terrorists in CIA-vendor company in Venice, FL

4. Defrauding the Congress on Iraq

5. Letting Ken Lay go for campaign contributions

6. Defanging the SEC for Corporate Cronies

7. Bankrupting California by letting Enron and others rob the state blind

8. Violating the Constitution with the Patriot Act I & II

9. Knowingly outing a CIA Agent

10. Purposely Bankrupting the Government to "Starve The Beast"

11. War Profiteering/Depriving Troops of Water to Toilet Paper

12. Knowingly have the Shuttle Columbia launch despite safety warnings, then refusing to release DOD photos showing huge gash in wing, thus knowing that the Columbia would be destroyed with all hands--to deliberately move NASA away from civilian Shuttle launches and prepare it for the militarization of Space! Proof: Andy Card came in early that Saturday morning at 9:15 AM to the White House, turned on the Shuttle coverage and watched it disintegrate, knowing the scheduled re-entry time. He knew he would have to work overtime and be there that morning!

That's for starters!

from all those pigs that will be flying around

as we work on plans for cleaning up the mess in 2008...it's gonna take that long to sort it all out.

takebackthe media and other like minded groups- Then we start usuing our combined resources to TARGET state and local reactionaries.

Mme. Defarge has already knitted an extensive list.

I had written "I think it will move to the left" but that is old thinking.

The movement will move forward - to insure universal health-care and decent pay for teachers just for starts.

Getting Bush out is priority number one.

What is wonderful about Dean is that it is not so much about getting him in, but taking the country back. Which to me really means "taking it forward."

n/t

this is all I want out of the Dean presidency:

Dean doesn't have a chance at all of winning in a general election!

Zero!

So, to answer your question: Dean wins, now what?

This is what happens.

After having frozen over, HELL MELTS...
