Gov Dean: If you keep the hope alive, if you don't go into despair, change is still possible
If you keep the hope alive, if you don't go into despair, change is still possible.

"Tactically, we have to be engaged in conflict. But we don't want to win the food fight, we want to end the food fight." ...

Our task: "Put America back to work. Pull America back together."

There's plenty of money. It's just how we spend it that matters.

Update:

"I want to turn the Rust Belt into a Green Belt."

Put all Americans back to work, red states and blue states.

the beginning - next we've got to him to actually do something for labor when all his big campaign contributors are owners. It is a daunting task and so far we haven't done enough.

3. "Put America back to work. Pull America back together."
Now there is a slogan Democrats CAN use. (My guess is they won't.)

Maybe Gov. Dean should be in charge of framing Democratic talking points.

6. K&R
Dr. Dean hits it out of the park with this statement:
There's plenty of money. It's just how we spend it that matters.

8. It is a crying shame the Obama Admin. couldn't find a position for Dean.
I guess he was too smart and popular with the Democratic base.

9. I believe the word you are looking for is "wouldn't"
I wish I knew what Obama and Emanual have against Dean. And I wish they would get over it.

12. Hope belongs in church
In reality, there is no Messiah returning to save us from our fate. If we allow the Earth to die, we die along with her.
