Can the Dean Defense Corps hold up against Rove and Bush?
Anyone working on the Dean campaign know if they can hold up? Also - will they need to beef up their presence if Dean wins the nomination?

If so, I volunteer!

1. No. It's over.
Dean is toast.

Nobody can beat Rove. He's the smartest and the best.

11. I have to agree...
The other Democratic candidates are reeling in the wake of Howard Dean's campaign...

The Dean campaign began recruiting rapid response teams across the country last summer.

Much of the needed people power and connections with the press are in place...I do believe we are more than a match for Rove.

4. Are you saying that in a contest
of good versus evil, that evil will win?

13. If they have more guns, yes...
I can cite a million cases in which Evil won. Read "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn for some examples.

5. Rove would be expendable
If Dean stands around with his hands in his pockets rocking on his heels during appearances -- it's over. He'll beat himself.

8. Of course it can be done, but we must ensure that whomever is the
nominee, that he/she focus on Bush's myriad failures, his contradictory statements, his lies, his hypocrisy, his cowardice (can you see him on Hardball?? of course Matthews would lob cottonballs at him, the leak and followup noninvestigation,9/11 coverup and refusal to release documents, and on and on and on...
This pResident is vulnerable as hell on the issues, we need to ensure that the public gets some exposure to this. It will take constant and serious pressure on the wholly-owned-by-the-wrong-wing, radical extremist media, hard work, hard questions...
Shrub has lied his way into this presidency and this war and has failed utterly and miserably.
THAT is what we need to focus on!
