OHHH, how I wish Hpward Dean was our President! I support Obama,

and will vote for him in 2012. As far as I'm concerned, they could eliminate all the damn political commercials, save all that money, and I'd still know who I was voting for. Evry time I hear Dean speak, as he was on Rachel's show tonight, I wish he would run again! I still think the one mistake he made was stating on one of the cable shows that he would break up the media strangle hold by a few co's and open up competition again. I KNOW that famus "Dean Scream" was nothing more than THE MEDIA hyping HIS mick to eliminate the crowd's excitement in the room and make only him sound nuts!

1. The problem is, it's almost impossible for someone like Dean to win.

He's great at stirring up the base, but he wouldn't get enough Independent votes. And we can't win without a lot of those.

3. Who?

I don't remember anyone other than a bunch of facetious Republicans thinking Obama was too liberal. He's about as center left as center left can get.

I'm voting for him in 2012, but I'm constantly wondering if Clinton would have made a better President.

7. Oh no

Clinton is the architect of the party turning into GOP light. She would have fought harder, all right, and still pushed the nation far to the right. The reasons Obama is weak is because he is acting like CLINTON (both bill and Hillary)

4. Dean and Obama both ran. Obama won. Dean dropped out.

There's no particular reason to think he'd do better if he tried again.

5. I'm not so sure of that. Listen to him. What he says makes sense.

Most people want to hear things that make common sense to them, especially Indies. I think he could get a lot on Indie votes.

i read the other day tat it's the Indies that Obama is after. He's convinced that the Indies want the policitians to work togther fr the best for the Country, and that's one of the reasons he tries so hard to get a consus in most situations. I can't remembe where I read that, but it was only a day or so ago.

Most Americans share his views. And most Americans are ready for change. Change in the right direction, that is.
