HELP!! I'm wimping out - somebody stiffen my backbone

I am afraid that when the talking heads start to attack Gov. Dean's wife, he might quit - aka Ross Perot.
I know Gov. Dean can stand the heat for himself, but I understand he is very private about his family.

I need reassurance that I am wrong!

1. hmm, first lady smear?

I think that would backfire. "Well, we could always embarass his WIFE!" Nah.

2. I don't know what he will do...but I know what I will do....

I will speak up, write letters, and anything I can to keep it in the public eye. I will yell about anti-Semitism, smear campaigns, and whatever else I can think.

Geeze...and I am a Kuchinich supporter!

3. don;t worry about that

his wife's desire for a private life didn't stop him from pursuing a public career so it's not likely to be perot rerun.

5. Unfortunately

it seems in this day and age sleeze ball reporting is the norm. Remember how some in the press treated Clinton's daughter?

I have a feeling after a couple of decades of crappy journalism all the candidates were well aware of what they had to look forward to vis a vis their families before they decided to run.

I don't picture the Doctor leaving the race because of anything like this.

Nasty Rove tactic. Kill the messanger, this is why we need to attack the machine of lies and hate that the right wing uses.

7. stiffen YOUR backbone? What does this have to do with your backbone?

It's sounds like you're worried that Dean might not have a stifff backbone, and it sounds like you don't have any reason to think that.

9. Who didn't expect this?

Stop paying attention to the BS and focus more on our job at hand, writing letters, making phone calls, knocking on doors. Doesn't matter what the opponents do as long as we're all covering our bases!
