3. Right On!!!....The DLC has forgotton Gore won via the people!!!!

Clinton has forgotten that he won via the people!!!

Lieberman forgot he won via the people(now his contingency is pissed)

The GOP has forgotten they stole the election of 2000 and 2002!!!

Are we the people gonna allow them to rob us blind in 2004?

Hmmmmmm............Strategy?

4. Let's see,

over half a million people have already registered on the Dean website and are the core of his committed supporters. He's raised more money in a recent quarter than any other Democrat ever, including one who was sitting President at the time. Unelectable?

Personally, I'm a Dean supporter, and some of the others do not appeal to me at all. However, I refrain from negative comments about them, because of one of those fine men is the nominee, I plan to support him wholeheartedly, as I sincerely hope they would Dean.

As someone who was around in 1972, the comparison to McGovern in laughable.

5. I wasn't around in 1972, just in 1982

and I think the McGovern comparison is laughable also....

6. Great cartoon!

But chill out, slinkerwink. Seriously: two kicks at three minute intervals? At least give it a chance to fall a little before you knock it back up. ;)

11. If you can't beat it, Gore it.

Gore it to death...a new meme.

To Gore: lie, spin, fabricate soundbites to knock out opponent.

17. Clark supporters at DU are the only people who make that claim

as do the "pundit" class of paid whores.

I am not a Dean supporter but do think that he has the best chance to win if nominated.

26. Lots of people think Dean can't win.

I think clark has a much better chance of winning, but dean can beat chimp if the economy doesn't improve much.

25. The whole "electable" concept is just another GOP whining point anyway

What does it mean, really? ANYONE is electable if s/he gets the most votes!
