Reply #31: There seems to be a total overblown view of Dean/Dean supporters [View All]

Yep, they are manning the internet and getting bucks to get their boy nominated. But it is such a small spit in the bucket compared to having to appeal to that big mass of people out there. You talk about a small minority of people thinking they have the pulse of the nation in their pocket. It just isn't so. The nation is turning against Bush BUT they are NOT rushing to Howard (Howard Who??). Trust the big boys---one thing they know is politics and they aren't afraid of Dean because he will bring such awesome different government to DC. Hell, he'll be cozing up into beds that will make Dems mouths drop! But, they know they just can't sell this guy. Let him stand in front of the lights, camera rolling and say "I'm Howard and I use to run Vermont" and watch people fall out of their chairs laughing. Texas had a 'ring' to it; Vermont doesn't. About the only thing you could do to go one lower than Vermont is to say "governor of RI"! Do you see how it instantly becomes a cartoon??? Howard sounds like George did a couple years ago in the "international smarts" department; thus George will do much better against him in a debate on the issue. It actually makes George look better. We need to get someone with bigger credentials and a bigger presence and more than zinging one liners about Bush. We need a statesman to go against an idiot cowboy. We don't need the Vermont version of the same cowboy!!!!
