Reply #23: Yes, we did, but our candidate knew how to fight back [View All]

and we fought back WITH him by helping Dean win both the 2nd and 3rd quarter fundraising race.

Remember the Meet the Press interview Dean had with Russert the day before Dean's formal announcement speech on June 23, 2003? Dean was panned for his performance, but that didn't stop his supporters from helping him win the 2nd quarter fundraising cycle. That was our way of giving the "finger" to the media who unfairly hounded Dean.

And our support hasn't stop, both financially and effort wise. How many letters to Iowans and Granite staters are Clark supporters hand writing? Dean's supporters are dedicated to doing the grunt work of campaigning to help their candidate win. It's because of Dean's supporters dedication to their candidate, a dedication that makes us do things we have never done before, that makes the media finally recognize that Dean has a people-powered movement, not a campaign.
