Dean Southern strategy vindicated - picks up endorsements there

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/12/13/elec04.prez.dean.endorsements/index.html

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Challenging his critics' view that he lacks appeal in the South, Howard Dean won the endorsement Saturday of the Congressional Black Caucus chairman as well as the backing of more than a dozen state and local lawmakers in Georgia in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Well my, my. It looks like Big Bad Ol Dean was not off the mark in playing to the South. Congratulations to Dean and his campaign, and let the flames begin.

1. Our county Black Caucus has asked our Dean rep here to speak.

They are very interested. They want our host to speak to a large group in their community. Our host is quite well-spoken, so that is good. They have been interested in Dean for quite a while.

Something is working.

No family members that are vets with slashed benefits?

4. Yes they all have jobs

I would bet you will find more military vets in AL than any other state, including me. What is the old childhood saying about stick and stones and names will never hurt me. What I see here names will hurt the democratic party.
