16 year old Anthony Raymond gives Elizabeth Edwards advice about anger.

We started the day in Plymouth, with breakfast at Main Street Station. There, I met Anthony
Raymond, a 16 year old boy. He was very impressive and inspiring. He was interested in
meeting all the candidates. And he offered this advice, it will never be enough for us to just try
compete to be the maddest at Bush. We have to be the party of ideas.

2. Edwards DOES get it. He understands regular people.

Because he is one. The "in your face" act might be manna to the hard left, but it's not going to work with middle America. It's not going to get enough votes to win an election.

Edwards expresses his disdain for *, but in a way that won't turn off people who don't like to be yelled at.

3. Howard Dean's trick by Mark Shields

Edited on Sun Aug-24-03 09:41 PM by w4rma

�
Make no mistake about it. It is not the medium -- radio, TV or the Internet -- which enlists and converts voters to a cause. It is the message -- what the candidate stands for and communicates -- that touches and moves voters.
�
His early success at fund raising is no guarantee that Howard Dean will be a serious candidate in New Hampshire next January. But Dean used no tricks nor gimmicks to collect those contributions. His opponents better understand: It was his message.

4. And as renie408 says, for every democrat motivated by anger,

there will be a republican or two who is so freaked out by the Democrat that they'll come out and vote against him or her, canceling out any benefit from anger.
