but we'll always blame the candidate, no matter where he/she is from.

Just a thought for those who are thinking about 08.

1. It's true. If they've got an army of hyped up volunteers
and we don't, or if their volunteers are better deployed than ours, then we're going to have some major problems. We need a sustained, organized, and self perpetuating volunteer force.

Dean is wonderful in this regard. He's paying attention to the nuts and bolts.

2. Yes, Dean deserves mad kudos!
Some are still missing the point. They think or expect the candidate to do ALL the work and win, if that doesn't happen, we're disappointed like 04. We didn't have a strong party infrastructure, if we don't have it in 08, then we only have ourselves to blame.

Again, kudos to Dean for empahazing the importance of the 50 state strategy.
