[janx]

1. That's very sweet of you!

:hi:

[Leilani]

43. Congrats to all Dean People!!!

He showed tonight that the people who know him best, love him most!

That says a lot!!

[MercutioATC]

2. Hey, I voted for him today...felt good :)

Looks like I'll be voting against Bush (instead of FOR anybody) in November, but at least I got to cast my vote for Dean in the primary.

[JackRiddler]

3. got two votes in today in NY

me and my mom!

Felt strange though, knowing all the potentials for election fraud, whatever the system.

[SadEagle]

5. 3!

Well, actually 4, my brother too.

[KaraokeKarlton]

4. Nice to see Dean's win acknowledged

He may be out of the race, but a win is still a win. Thank you for starting this thread...let's keep it kicked to the top, where it belongs.

[slinkerwink]

6. kick----funny skinner didn't make a well-wisher thread for us

[KaraokeKarlton]

10. I know, a win is a win, period

And it's totally uncool to ignore that.

[slinkerwink]

14. hey---let's go to the ATA!

[edzontar]

16. Funny thing that.....they counted us out to soon---again.

By the way--I used to live in Northampton and was married there.

Lovely town.

[littlejoe]

64. Why should he? Dean quit the race.

[slinkerwink]

72. Sharpton didn't win a single state tonight-----Dean did

[Polemonium]

67. perhaps if he ignores us we'll just go away n/t

:shrug:

[burned]

7. :)

my cheeks hurt from smiling :)

I jumped up and down and made loud noises. I scared the dogs.

[Lugnut]

76. I'm grinning too.

I sent my cats running with my very loud YEEEAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!!

Welcome to DU, burned. :hi:

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Congrats on the Vermont win!

WTG! :bounce: :toast:

[slinkerwink]

9. thanks!!!!

:hi:

[Padraig18]

11. Go, Howard!

Vermont still loves you, and so do I! :)

[spooky3]

12. Congratulations on the win and thank you for bringing excitement

and leading the challenge to the * regime!

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

13. I almost voted for dennis, but when I heard about Vermont

I decided he needed my vote of thanks as well.

You got one vote in CA, Dr Dean. Thanks for speaking the truth. Let's hope the party learned their lesson from you (I doubt it, but I can hope)

[slinkerwink]

29. awwww, thanks!

[diamondsoul]

31. Honestly wish you'd reversed

that, but here's to Governor Dean! Well done everyone who supports him!!:toast:

All the way to Boston, folks! Keep your voice alive, whoever that may be!

[edzontar]

15. THANK YOU Paragon! And thank you VERMONT!!!!!!

I guess we can now say that Dean carried a state..

And a very fine state it is, my old neighbor, Vermont.

[incapsulated]

17. Congrats to Dean on Vermont!

Well Done! :thumbsup: :)

 
 

[SadEagle]

20. Thanks incapsulated...

... and nice sig

[mot78]

18. Congrads Dean!!!

It's amazing that Dean won a primary despite suspending his campaign.

[Paragon]

19. I ain't letting this drop off the board...

:dem:

[NoPasaran]

21. A small victory but one savored to its fullest

Thank you Vermont!

And thank you Howard Dean!

[mzmolly]

22. Vermont is a tribute to Howard Dean and what could have been...

And, perhaps what will be?

Howard Dean for President 20XX...

[AntiCoup2K4]

50. Hopefully 2008

I have a feeling there won't be any DLC candidates on the ballot next time. And that's all I'm saying because THIS ain't a bummer thread :D

[NoCorporatePols]

23. Congrats to Dr Dean and all his supporters

Drats to Kerry !

[Zynx]

24. Dean did great.

He is a true asset to our party.

[milkyway]

25. What a feel-good story for the Gov! Politicians lose their home state

all the time. And after they have stopped campaigning? Gephardt received 2% of the vote in Missouri. Lieberman currently at 3% in Connecticut. What a show of appreciation by the people from the great state of Vermont. It makes me even prouder that my first son was conceived in Vermont!

[slinkerwink]

that's true---and it's amazing that the people of Vermont rallied to

Dean instead of to Kerry.

[Jade Fox]

26. This country owes a huge debt to Dean

What a lovely thank you for Dr. Dean, wining in his own state in spite of
no longer being an official candidate.

Thank you to the Dean supporters. You changed the world, though in
ways that may not be obvious. If Bush loses in Nov. it will be in no small part
because of the fire that the Dean campaign lit under the Democratic party.

:toast:

[littlejoe]

65. It looks like Dean's the one who owes the huge debt now.

About half a mil.

[CTLawGuy]

69. your flippant remarks are losing

votes for Tweedledee.


Tweedledee for president 04, beat Tweedledum

[MercutioATC]

79. That's a lot less than the $6.5M that Kerry's campaign owes...

[Tom Rinaldo]

27. I am so pleased about the people of Vermont

Standing by Dean. Congratulations everyone. For evermore no one can say that Dean didn't win a primary. The people who knew him best stood firm for Dean. It's a tribute well earned.

[disenfranchised]

28. Congrats Howard Dean supporters

This win is a great statement about the power of Howard Dean and his movement.

The media will never acknowledge the import of this victory and how bright the future will be for Dean and his supporters. I look forward to supporting Dean in the future.

Keep on fighting.

[snoochie]

30. Congrats on Vermont!

Well done, y'all. :)

[democratreformed]

32. Congratulations to Dean and his supporters. I couldn't be more thrilled.

I am so happy for you all.

[Pax Argent]

33. Another California voter for Dean signing in

This was my first vote ever and it felt good. It was Dr. Dean that gave me hope that there could be a different outcome to this election. He is a great man.

Regarding the voting thing, I might have to do that again. :)

[Darth_Kitten]

34. I miss Dean......

He woke up the democratic party. :)

[Duder]

35. Governor Dean issued the following statement tonight...

"I want to thank the great people of Vermont tonight who overwhelmingly endorsed our campaign for change. This win means so much to me. Two years ago, I entered this race to talk about health care, children, and to demand change and leadership in our Party. This Party and this country still needs change, and tonight you have helped further that process.

"While I ran for president I often said that America would be a better place if it was more like Vermont. I still firmly believe that to be true: We still need health care for all children, affordable prescription drugs for seniors, and equal rights for all Americans.

"Throughout this campaign, I have appreciated the strong support from the people of Vermont. Our campaign owes a huge debt to the hundreds of Vermonters who worked at our headquarters--answering phones, stuffing mailings, and responding to emails--as well as to all of those who canvassed on our behalf in New Hampshire and elsewhere. I will never forget the work and the heart that you put into our campaign. Thank you.

"I look forward to continuing the energy and the campaign for change that our movement began. We will be announcing more details of that effort on March 18th."

[Jade Fox]

37. okay, now I'm ....

:cry:

Thank YOU, Dr. Dean!

[slinkerwink]

78. awwww....*hugs*

[Polemonium]

77. Looking forward to March 18th

I still believe that together we can create the changes we want instead of relying on change to come down from the "hill".

[Paragon]

36. Kerry STARTS by thanking Howard!

YEAGH!!!

[Paragon]

38. oh no you don't...

:kick:

[madfloridian]

39. Kudos to Eugene and Truth and Hope for this movie/ad.

I think a lot of the credit for Vermont goes to Eugene Hedlund at www.truthandhope.org and his ads.

Dean supporters contributed to him, but he organized and put together this group in almost no time at all.

Eugene was/is a Republican. He was a devout Republican, too. He just became hopeless. He is going to keep this group going. Here is the movie Vermonters saw thanks to him and those of us who donated.

If you can watch this without tears, then I commend you.

[For PaisAn]

75. Thanks

that was beautiful.

[Mr. McD]

40. I just returned from voting for Dean

in the CA. primary. My wife voted for him earlier today.

Here's to Dean :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[jansu]

41. YEEEAAAHHHHHHGGGG! Don't forget to keep getting out the vote!

For Howard Dean in the up coming primaries.....the delegates count!

And, then let's work our butts off and empty our wallets to get Bush out of the White House!

Anyone know what happened in California? 4 of us in my family voted for Dean here!

[madfloridian]

42. A kick for well-wishers.

:hi:

[NoPasaran]

44. Kick for Dean delegates

We'll be sending some from Travis County next week

[adamrsilva]

45. Go Governor Dean!!!

He deserved at least one win!

[Upfront]

46. How Sweet

it is!

[WonderGrunion]

47. Thank you.

I shed a tear tonight (a good one) when Matthews had to announce the first victory of the night for Howard Dean. I am a state delegate for Dean in Maine and will be glad to see our sisters and brothers in Vermont at the national convention supporting Dean as well. (Presuming I make it that far. LOL) Thank you all Dean supporters and now I look forward to March 18 to see what vision Howard has for the democratic party this year.

49. Grats to Dean on taking Vermont...

That state is such a great example of how good things can be with democrats in the government.

[Crunchy Frog]

51. Congratulations to Dean and his supporters

On winning Vermont tonight.:toast:

I hope that he will become a very influential figure in the Dem party. I agree that it really does need to be shaken up.

[Bill McBlueState]

52. I was one of 20 for Dean in my town!

The town-by-town results for Massachusetts (and probably other states) are coming in at CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/primaries/pages/counties/MA/index.html

I was one of 20 in my town who voted for Dean. He got 5% here.

[beth in AZ]

53. I am so pleased

with the people of Vermont. And with all the Deanizens who went out today and voted their hearts.

It says a lot about Dean, that his home state voted overwhelmingly for him, even after he'd suspended campaigning. It says that everything I believe is true.

[SheilaT]

54. I'm hoping I'll be able to vote for

Howard Dean in ten days when Kansas has its caucuses. I still don't understand the mad rush to Kerry. He's the same-old same-old, friend of big business and the status quo. I keep on being told that if he's president at least we won't have Ashcroft as AG, and he'll probably appoint some Supreme Court justices, but I wonder.

I wonder if he'll really move this country back to the left, if he'll actually stand up to the corporate interests that have been controlling this country in recent years. If he'll fight for universal health care, for paring the military back, for no more U.S. sponsored coups.

I hope.

[Orthodox Heathen]

55. Go Dean

[mitchum]

56. Please allow me to apologize for any and all heated exchanges...

in which I have engaged.
I sincerely congratulate Howard Dean and all of his supporters. I certainly hope he continues to be a national presence in our party and really feel that it will be our country's loss if this is not the case.

You guys fought HARD and should be proud of yourselves.

[RetroLounge]

57. Nice going Gov Dean!

58. Dean delegate here in MN

I voted for Edwards in our preference poll, but I didn't want to miss my chance to show my support for Dean, so I sub-caucused for him and got chosen as a delegate to the county unit convention later this month.

[Polemonium]

59. This should give us something to toast at tongihts meet-up

Cheers to all of you :toast:
