Gov. Chair Howard Dean, MD is first here!
Notice in the above pic Elizabeth is avoiding looking at her husband. Hmmm!
The Deans, DFA and the DFA grassroots and netroots are first!
Support DFA's fight for a Progressive Presidential Candidate.

Yes, there's nobody gooder than Dean. Your scheme has a little problem... the calendar. It would push a pres. run to '16. unless he did an Obama and quit when he felt like it.
Well, it hasn't hurt Obama or Hillary to run after only a few years in the Senate. But unlike them, he would do much good in the meantime. And I don't think he should base his public service solely on presidential considerations.
The so called Progressives need to grow some spine too...on their own. Sanders won't even support impeachment.
Nothing helps spinitude more than having another ally to back you up and help you lead. More good people in government means more good government.
And how can we and DFA encourage honest and liberal people to run for office and tell our own mentor and role model not to?
You made my point ....... when you said "as when he was Governor. He's a take charge, let's get things done person, I don't think he'd be very happy with compromising nitty gritty bills that end up not being anything.
On the contrary, as governor Dean showed a remakable ability to work with people and reach compromises that weren't sellouts and did the most possible good.

Some pictures aren't worth a thousand words and in fact can convey false impressions.
C-Span 2:30 ET today, there will be a Dem candidate forum. As far as I can tell, the participants will be:
Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Dodd, & Kucinich
Nothing noted on C-span about Biden, Richardson or Gravel
Bush Says Funding Iraq, Afghan Wars Is Congress's Top Priority
Bush has assumed the dual roles of Senate majority leader and House Speaker. Wow - this man is truly amazing:)
Some pretty catty remarks about my guy Kucinich and his wife above. If anyone dared to say the same about Michelle Obama, there'd be hell to pay.

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration intends to slash counterterrorism funding for police, firefighters and rescue departments across the country by more than half next year, according to budget documents obtained by The Associated Press.
The Homeland Security Department has given $23 billion to states and local communities to fight terrorism since the Sept. 11 attacks, but one document says the administration is not convinced that the money has been well spent and thinks the nation's highest-risk cities have largely satisfied their security needs.
*****************************************
The point I want to make about this story is that it is entirely consistent with the Republican philosophy of considering government service as an opportunity to funnel public resources or assets into private pockets. It seems fairly clear that much of the money spent on Homeland Security was used to purchase equipment which the "protective services" did not find useful and, as a result, they're not going to be able to be counted on as supporters in the next election. So, what's the point of funding them?
Hillary has served a full term in the Senate and is on her second term, which also shows she won a re-election, unlike a couple other candidates have been unable to show.

Admirable quality that Elizabeth Kucinich always seems soft spoken and quite at ease with herself and seems totally smitten with her Dennis. Another admirable quality is carefully chosen words, as opposed to just speaking without true quality of saying.

Yeah, but lets try and maintain a sense of humour about it all..........who knows what shes staring at...................it staggers the imagination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sITKA.....
Well we don't know if not fulfilling his term in the Senate will hurt him yet, but it sure exposes his character.
Allow me to say something positive in Hillary's behalf. It would be the only thing I could think of. Hilary did say she'd complete her first term and she did. She did not say she would the second term.

She is listening to his words. When I listen to my hubby speak, it may appear that I am looking down or sometimes away. But I am not. I am listening. I also like to observe people form words.
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! YEAH IRELAND....CHEERS!

We walked up and down and in an out all the Bars in the hotel on Collins Ave singing a popular song (so I was told) to the weee hours in the early mornin'.

I think the two of them have learned to see the person inside to appreciate.
Oh, but if we would all do that, I think Dennis Kucinich would be our next President.

Democrats vote to strip Michigan of its delegates
VIENNA, Virginia (CNN) – The Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to deny Michigan’s request to hold its primary on January 15, but party leaders vowed to move forward with the event even though its delegates won’t count in the presidential nominating contest.
“This is about principle,” Debbie Dingell, a Michigan DNC member, said in an interview after the vote. “It is the only way we are going to get there.

Can you imagine a minority forum in Iowa? Watch C-SPAN
Yikes! I just took down 3 layers of wallpaper to find cheap paneling in my kitchen
A funny story about Dennis and Elizabeth.
Last Aug. when I went to the DNC convention in Las Vegas with my daughter and other deaniacs my daughter came up to the hotel room at night saying she swore she saw Elizabeth and Dennis playing the slot machines. Dennis was not on the schedule to speak like Richardson so we thought my daughter just had Democratic candidates in her head. We said, "No way Kucinich wouldn' t gamble."--I guess it is like not believing your teach grocery shops.
The next morning the schedule on the DNC convention said, "Surprise Guest".
Marcia thought for sure it was Howard and left early to get a front seat. Lois, my daughter and I opted to sleep in. (You have to remember we spent the night in a Las Vegas Hotel)
Well, who else but Dennis Kucinich was the special guest! I won't doubt my daughter. She knew it is hard to pass the slots.

New government estimates of the number of Americans who become infected with the AIDS virus each year are 50 percent higher than previous calculations suggested, sources said yesterday.

The people running this Dem forum seem to think it is more about them than the candidates.
And good grief, a Republican candidate agreed to come but was then turned down because it may look like the forum was endorsing him. What the ???

Holly,
Good luck with your local party. I have come to a different conclusion. The Dem party will always regard progressives as necessary but minority partners and take us for granted. It is rife with cronyism and spending all the time and effort it would take to work one's way up in that system without becoming coopted is a daunting task. I commend you for trying but it is a very low probability of yielding anything beyond intense frustration.
Kucinich is a good example. He is "tolerated" but he cannot gain traction in the Party. And Dean has been effectively isolated and marginalized. Even the 50 state project has limited promise because it KEEPS IN PLACE the same crony system in the red/purple states. It provide money and some staff but it doesn't require reforms that would provide an entrance for progressives.
See you in a year....
I think the effort, time and money would be better spent buildng a true progressive party (not the Green party) would be a better avenue for us. We do need someone with a respected nationally known reputation (Dean or Gore) though to get it moving.
Five stars to Edwards at the Forum, great answers!
Wow!! Looks like Kucinich impressed a lot of Iowa caucus goers. His spanish was impressive also.
Clinton couldn't make it in persons because of weather?
Edwards, Obama, Dodd, and Biden are great candidates, but it's a Kucinich bumper sticker holding the rusty nether parts of my Old Bronco together. It's all about the single-payeruniversal healthcare, the Dept. of Peace, the respect for DFA and the great big balls to file richly-deserved Articles of Impeachment.
Well we don't know if not fulfilling his term in the Senate will hurt him yet, but it sure exposes his character.
I don't think either Hillary or Obama potentially not serving out their Senate terms says anything about their characters.
Hilary did say she'd complete her first term and she did. She did not say she would the second term.
I can't find any promise by Obama to serve out his full term. If you know of it please share a link if possible. But as I said, it doesn't matter to mean anyway.
And it wouldn't speak ill of Dean's character either if he was elected a senator in 2010 and ran for president in 2012.
Dodd did good.
Obama next.
Some people in NC have never forgiven Edwards for not serving his full term in the Senate. He deprived his constituents of representation.
You might not thin
Sitka...
Sorry....I'll finish, You might not think ill of Dean if he quit, but I think he would.
To run for office and be elected is a contract with the people. I think an obligation to fulfill that is obvious, unless there were overwhelming compliance with your constituency.
Some people in NC have never forgiven Edwards for not serving his full term in the Senate.
He did serve his full term -- and he won the primary. So it must have been just a few cranks who were upset by if, if anyone.
He deprived his constituents of representation.
I'm sure they would have preferred a president from their state. Anyone who wouldn't is crazy.
I'll finish, You might not think ill of Dean if he quit, but I think he would.
Who can say what's in the mind of Dean but he himself?
To run for office and be elected is a contract with the people.
Yet you don't mind that Hillary is now breaking her "contract with the people."
I think you're making up a rationale and applying it arbitrarily.

That's just a garbage post. haha, don't take me too seriously Sitka, but that is just a cranky post @ ...42.
The war is not going to drive the Dems to victory.
Especally since they're not living up to their promises to end it.

That's your interpretation (incorrect) of its intent. You don't refute its factuality.
Obama said,
If/when he wins, he will have the people set the agenda for the general election by having the people get together in communities and push the agenda from the communities.
[...its intent. You don't refute its factuality. ]

"So it must have been" is speculation, so it fails to earn a factual retort.
I don't know, that's the best I can do to sink this little debate. Point to me.
factuality ? What?;)
No new replies, so I'm going to rest after just running 10 miles. Booya!

The majority will come on the issues surrounding the economy.

Fact: Edwards did serve his full term. And, as it ended in Jan. 2003, he would have served it all even if he had been elected president.
It is of course only my opinion that anyone who doesn't want a president from their own state and party is a crank and that there aren't many of them around.
Sitka....
No point in saying more. When you don't want to "see" something, it just doesn't exist.
The majority will come on the issues surrounding the economy.
That's what determines almost every election. But failing to live up to their promise to end the Iraq Disaster will hurt Democrats because many won't lift a finger to help or vote for them.
When you don't want to "see" something, it just doesn't exist.
That's pretty much what I said to you first. But I do have trouble seeing made up rationales applied arbitrarily.
OK: point of agreement.
I hope you also agree that it's a fact Edwards served his full term. Don't make me google it for you.
Everyone did very well. I always like Dodd. He and Biden are the only ones who can claim that they have solved or tried to solve many of these domestic problems for years. Their records are their proof and they are proud of them.
In Hillary's defense, she did not appear in person because the airport in Des Moines was closed for hours today and she was flying in from NH.
Gotta love the answer from Kucinich about letting all those Community based organizations. He invited them all in the WH to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom -- the government is open for their business. I do believe he would too.

Well, Cindy Sheehan ain't got a rats chance...no matter the hoards of anti-war people beating the drums.
Dept. of Peace? I like what cC said, "We already have a Dept of State"
Frankly, I cannot believe Hillary did that. She flew into New Hampshire to capitalize on that demented incident in Rochester and then used that as an excuse for not meeting her commitment to the people who organized the Heartland Forum in Iowa! Some of those people traveled 12 hours on a bus to be there! And she stiffed them!
Unbelievable!
I always like Dodd. He and Biden are the only ones who can claim that they have solved or tried to solve many of these domestic problems for years.
They've got some bad votes too. But since they collectively poll at maybe 6%, it isn't worth digging up and posting them.
Don't make me google it for you.

OMG, spare me;) Facts are fact and I granted it without further comment
Uhg! You googled! Yuck;!
59. There was no reason for her to be in NH other than to grand-stand. At best her behavior could be compared to ambulance chasing. Everyone else who was at the DNC event in Virginia made it to Iowa, if they wanted to. Biden, Gravel and Richardson apparently chose not to.
Frankly, I cannot believe Hillary did that.
I expect that if she had made an appearance she would be accused of exploiting what happened yesterday.
61. We do not pay attention to polls, sitka. Remember?

By Susan Rowe on Nov 30, 2007 5:31 PM ESTI got a call from Martha Gamez with the CDP today. Elizabeth Kucinich is scheduled to appear at the CDP Campaign Skills Training happening this weekend in Fresno around 12:00 noon! Mrs. Kucinich is an amazing human being. I got to meet her at the CDP E-Board meeting held in Anaheim. She was the honored guest speaker during one of the General Sessions. I hope you can attend one of these events, so, you can meet her too.
