10,000 new supporters have signed up on Dean's site

[Melodybe]

in the last week! I think that we are going to be ok. I definitely smell a Dean comeback!

[Guaranteed]

1. Right on.

We need to wait until Sunday to get an idea of what's really happening, though.

[elperromagico]

2. Just have to wait until NH and 3 February to find out.

:)

[bhunt70]

3. how do they figure out who signed up and who is just passing through?

Serious question.

[elperromagico]

5. People sign up for e-mails, I think.

Some people sign up just to find out more about the candidates, but still, that's an impressive number.

Now we just have to see if it translates into votes.

[LBJBestEver]

4. Dean is doing a great job of energizing the base.

Hopefully his supporters stay on even if he doesn't capture the nomination. We'll need their support in Nov. if we wanna get this Ahole out of the WH.

[mopinko]

6. give 'em hell howard

all press is good press if you got the beef.

[Guaranteed]

9. Arnold sexually assaulted a bunch of women

and was the butt of every joke for a couple of weeks. He still won the governorship of California.

[Ripley]

40. Exactly Bull....and think of those Fundie Repukes who defended

the Gropenator despite his past behavior. And of course the media just laughed it off and said oh, those are allegations. Funny how when it's a Dem each and every allegation must be put under a microscope.

[lurk_no_more]

7. I really find this hard to believe

I mean really, really hard to believe!


And then there were none!
” JAFO”

[elperromagico]

8. Well, e-mail signups don't necessarily translate into votes.

Time will tell. :)

[Melodybe]

11. It's true there is a little counter on the side that keeps up with number

people that have pledged to support Dean. At the beginning of the week we were just under 600,000 now we are over 609,000.

[elperromagico]

12. Well, cool.

Get about 50,000,000 more, and we'll win this thing in a walk. :)

Just kidding!

[lurk_no_more]

32. I have 3 websites with 3 counters

and I can make those counters read any number I want them to read, take that and those that did support dean in the beginning that have moved on but still recieve e-mail notices, then factor in those that make pledges that in reality have no idea what pledge really means (I have better things to do today) and deans real numbers while great mean very little in the real world.






And then there were none!
” JAFO”

[drfemoe]

35. and deans real numbers while great mean very little in the real world

Just like Dean. Just too dishonest for the "real world".

[Capn Sunshine]

10. The hard part of the movement

is wondering why you have the answesr to the problem, all the money, and the media tells you you must be crazy to want to change things.

Or too mad. Tsk Tsk.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

13. Did you know that I am signed up on Dean's website?

You might want to think twice if you believe all those eggs are gonna hatch into chickens, lol.

[HuckleB]

15. And I am signed up on Kerry's site.

But I bet we both signed on long ago. Those who sign on now are much more likely to be jumping on the bandwagon.

Sorry to break the news...

[OneTwentyoNine]

20. I'm signed up on the Kerry site also. Guess you just never know...

[drfemoe]

21. Personally

I want Howard Dean to pack his suitcase and go home to VT asap. No tv cameras. Just go back to his loving family.

The finale needs to be the top three, Kerry, Clark, Edwards.

Don't be surprised if that happens.

[Sly Kal]

36. LOL

Did you know I am signed up on Kerry's site?

[HuckleB]

14. He'll be back, regardless of NH.

It's a long campaign. Too many people forget just how early it really is.

[FreeperSlayer]

16. ABB!

[OneTwentyoNine]

17. Ha ha....great,take that Whore TV

I am soooooo FUCKING sick of the way that Dean has been pounded over this. I got the Dean E-Mail with the Diane Sawyer interview and its here we GD go again. "Oh....Howard Dean,this is the kind of thing that can hurt you as a candidate."

Bite my ass Diane! An impassioned speech with loud talking and a yeahaa and the end can hurt a campaign?? That's only in the last few years when Republican owned media has completely taken over the airwaves. Dean's the front runner,so now we'll do ANYTHING no matter how trivial to destroy him.

If Kerry thinks they'll lay off of him because of his record in the Military he has another think a comin'

18. whore TV is right....Rovian ploys against the "truth"

[frogfromthenorth2]

19. After seing this picture this morning I am now 100% sure that

this couple won't live in the White House anytime soon....



Image, everything is about image. Dean blew it. Media blew him away even further...

[Polemonium]

22. I rather like that image

And everything is image?

[frogfromthenorth2]

25. Your country is all about image. It may be sad but it's the thruth.

Look at Bush. How do you thing Chimpy got elected? For his brains?

[LizW]

30. Chimpy got elected because

he was the conduit through which the corporate facists saw that they could loot the US Treasury and set themselves up to be able to continue the looting for years to come. His "image" is whatever the whore media wants it to be.

If America refuses to elect Dean solely because he and his wife aren't "flashy" enough and don't fit some media-prescribed image of American royalty, then we deserve four more years of Bushco and all that entails.

[cthrumatrix]

31. and you see that more and more people are aware of this...they want

change..who else is committed to calling out the washington politcs of old and is a threat....Dean

And he has been consistent in this mantra.

[drfemoe]

34. Everything is about "image makers"

The Deans haven't had the *right* "make-over". Pity, isn't it?

[frogfromthenorth2]

39. Yep, it's a pity. But that's part of what your country is... Won't change

over night. It's pitifull that so much emphasis is put on the prospective First Lady. Your country fought to get rid of the King but still the president and his wife have a "royal" status. Quite ironic isn't it?

[drfemoe]

43. What we actually

fought to escape was autocratic rule. Unfortunately a lot of contemporary Americans would rather abdicate their power to another authority with an expectation that they can avoid responsibility for their own choices and put the blame elsewhere.

[drfemoe]

23. I want him to fly home TODAY

eom

[slinkerwink]

24. gee, what's up with you?

:shrug:

[drfemoe]

26. I don't like watching abuse

I am very anti-violence. He has made enough $$ for the media, entertained the pundits long enough. The DLC has spoken and chosen. I respect and admire everything about Howard and Judy Dean.

They don't deserve this. A lot more work needs to be done at the Grassroots level before someone like HD can be elected in this country. Sorry, Slink.

[slinkerwink]

27. your defeatist attitude is pissing the hell out of me.

snap out of it, quick! There's still hope, for christsakes!

[cjk]

33. Amen

I'll pack up my support for Mr. Dean when he decides it's time for him to pack. I still support what he stands for and what he says. To those who think he saps votes and energy from others, I like to think of what Nader said when he was accused of taking votes away from Gore: he said something to the effect of "Gore took votes away from me". I was a Gore supporter, by the way. I don't want a quitter for my candidate. Go Howard!

[cthrumatrix]

42. you should have heard CSPAN this am...80% for Dean and they can

see through the media hype and they don't like it.. this is why you see people re-energized.

It's the people vs the media and the insiders...

[Polemonium]

37. If not now then when

the civil rights movement never would have happened if your attitude was in vogue then.

[KaraokeKarlton]

38. This is nothing compared to what he and his family went through in 2000

Just hang in there. Dean can overcome anything thrown in his way. So can we. And don't forget...NH LOVES to undo what Iowa does at primary time. Dean thought about all the consequences of running and discussed it with his family before entering the race. If the family couldn't handle it, he would not be in the race. Hang tough, because that's what the Deans are doing.

[drfemoe]

41. I know he would never let his NH supporters down

Too many people counting on him in NH and he won't stiff them. We'll see how I feel after Tuesday. I'll never give up on what he has brought to my awareness.

[xultar]

28. Congratulations! n/t

[cthrumatrix]

29. and that usally means more $$$$$$

[Gin]

44. NH is one step on a long road...I am a Dean supporter....he may not

win NH....but he has to come in at least 3 again. He is doing good damage control so far...the video posted here yesterday from someone at the rally gives the correct perspective on his speech.

The media is doing their best to ruin him. Funny...I thought shrub wanted to run against him.

My main issue on a long list of issues, is the invasion of Iraq and what it has done to our country. Dean address my concerns and has since I heard him last spring.
