What a year
I sent my first e-mail to the Dean campaign on September 1, 2002. Increasingly frustrated with the lead-up to the Iraq war (Congress voted on the war resolution just a month later), I was intrigued by Governor Dean’s principled stance on our policy in Iraq. More importantly, I was impressed with his ability to articulate […]
Kerry on Meet the Press
Kerry and Russert are bobbing and weaving on MTP right now. Any Dean supporters that thought Russert gave Dean an overly hard time should be watching now — he’s being as hard on Kerry.
But each time Kerry answers, Russert comes back with a question along the lines of, “But Howard Dean…” It’s driving Kerry nuts, […]
More on the Flip Flops
Matthew Yglesias remarked on the Dean flip-flopping meme earlier today, and there’s a good thread in the comments about how (if) this hurts Dean.
Check it out.
Naperville Last Fling 2003 - Even better than last year
I’m more than willing to put up with the endless jibes from co-workers who live in Chicago — Naperville, they claim, might as well be in Iowa for its distance from Chicago. (It’s 33 miles away if you must know.)
But if you’re raising a family, I can’t really imagine that there’s a better place to […]
The Right is Catching On…
Glenn Reynolds (aka Instapundit) is started to take Dean seriously, and notes that many on the right think Dean will get the nomination and “could give Bush a tough ride in the election.”
From the same post, Reynolds links to OxBlog, a conservative blogger who calls the NY Times out on its overly slanted portrayal of […]
MeetUp on the PocketPC
Mel Sampat is a member of our local Dean MeetUp group, and put together a very cool little PocketPC app that allows you to track the MeetUp totals from the various candidates.
I wish it would run on my Treo, but I guess we can’t have everything. Still, if you have a PocketPC and are interested […]
What will Bush do with all his cash?
Here’s a scary proposition: President Bush takes a page out of Gray Davis’s playbook in the spring.
Anyone else remember what Davis did in the Republican primary season last year? Sensing that Dick Riordan was his real threat, Davis spent millions on a negative campaign — while Riordan was campaigning against Bill Simon. So before the […]
First was the Sleepless Summer Tour, Now…
It’s the Bush Administration’s response:
John Ashcroft’s Patriot Act Summer Tour
Hysterical. Thanks to Shelley Cole for the pointer.
Zogby: Dean opens up a 20 point lead on Kerry in New Hampshire
Let’s let pollster John Zogby speak in his own words:
This is stunning. Dean’s surge seems to be at a heavy cost to Kerry, who led Dean in previous New Hampshire polling. Dean has also taken from Gephardt’s standing, and from the undecideds. His support is really across the board … both Congressional […]
