anita bryant parkster- i saw him on C-SPAN. he exudes something that touches great hope in me. something that moves me to help him succeed. i haven't felt that with a politician since 1968. it reminded me of going to see bobby kennedy when i was a student at UNM. he came to speak on campus when he was running for the democratic nomination for president. he was full of idealism and believed in the power of the people to rise above the civil unrest and injustices that had seemed insurmountable before he offered to carry that flame for us. it was so promising and empowering for the disenfranchised peon americans like me. a couple of months later he was dead. what a loss of hope. it was devastating. i get those same feelings of hope for the country and the world when i hear dean talk about the future we can build together as caring, compassionate people. and, from experience, i twinge at the thought that he's the only one talking like this. my heart remembers that one bullet dispatched by someone who's gotten too rich from the present policies of american politics to be able to stand what he might lose can snuff out the light for millions. the bush administration has already demonstrated that they think assassination is an acceptable political tool. but no matter the outcome, it's a worthy road to travel and i'm supporting him all the way to the grave or the whitehouse, which ever comes first. -el deaniac

Clapper, Dean is picking up some real momentum among some of my died in the wool Kerry supporters. He's a new face, says what's on his mind and represents the old rock ribbed demos of old. The irony is, his background is the same as Bush's...prep school, ivy league, business background. However, his set of beliefs about the world and the US are completely different. Altair19
