We need something special to beat George W. Bush
An ordinary campaign will not beat this incumbent President. We can talk about electibility. We can talk about who's presidential. But let's talk about how we can beat Geroge W. Bush. We need a campaign that is Special. A campaign that will get people involved. A campaign that makes people giddy inside. A campaign where people are enthusiastic about politics.

The campaign I am talking about is Howard Dean's campaign. The people is what make the campaign special. The younger voters are becoming involved again. People are starting to wake from their political apathy. Everyday I see people talking about politics, whether it's at a supermarket or the nearest hardware store. The name they mention is Dean.

I have hope that one day people come to realize that we have something special here. A political awakening is in process. People are waking from their hibernation. Students, parents, seniors, widows, single parents, everybody are starting to get involved because of Dean.

Many people say that Kerry and Edwards is the most electable. They might be but they have an ordinary campaign. They are tied to special interest groups just like any ordinary campaign.

Dean on the other hand gets his money from small $76-$100 donations that have sparked a revolution. We need a movement to beat this entrenched President. A movement that is so big it cannot be stopped. We need something special.

Contribute to Howard Dean's Special Campaign

2. take the gloves off and hammer him every
day, hour, minuet and second with
lies about the war and number dead
challenge him to release the true casualties
3 mill jobs lost
environmental policy reversals
invasion of privacy
expansion of police powers
AWOL
bring em on
mission accomplished
etal.
Answer no questions by the media with a direct answer even if put
in a defensive spot, push these out of the mouth of every Democrat on every show and every interview. Spend every minuet in the house and senate which is allowed the Democratic party excoriating the shrub and his criminal mis administration. If we do this non stop eventually the media will have to show or cover it.

3. Clark's campaign is special too.
Edited on Wed Jan-28-04 11:14 PM by gulliver
Hometown boy goes off to West Point and then to war. He's wounded in combat. He goes on to become a 4-star general and leads a multi-national force in winning a war that saves over a million lives. He comes home to retire from the military and works in the private sector where he is very successful.

But then his country calls, and this Mr. Smith, this non-politician, this great American heeds the call. He takes the fight to the usurping dipwad in the Oval office from day one of his campaign. He takes risks and speaks from the heart. He wants to unite his country.

That's Clark and that's special too.

4. Dean's campaign is special
It's so special that he can't win, I don't think. While he may excite some people, it's not the swing vote that will determine the outcome of the GE. It's unfortunate.
