2. I'm trying to keep an open mind |
|
this early on, but the more I see Dean, the more position papers I read, the more I like the man. His grass-roots activism is inspiring and is, imho, the ONLY way we can take this country back from the hands of Big Business (if Dean doesn't win the nomination, I hope whoever does uses this grass-roots activism, because otherwise I fear the Dems are toast). My doctor, who is a lifelong Republican, has read some of his papers on health care, and is leaning towards supporting him-she's already stated she WON'T vote for Chimp.

The story says Dean leads, but won't say by how much.
Or say whether the lead is within the margin of error.
Or give numbers on any of the other candidates.
Huge grain of salt

Lack of specifics (margin of error, phrasing of question, dates, methodology, complete numbers) all make this "poll" a little smelly.

4. He's nowhere near as liberal on most issues as I would prefer |
|
but he gets a HUGE vote of confidence from this extremely Liberal Democrat!

to see you're supporting a candidate like kucinich... i like a lot of his stances myself...
with that said however, when OR if you do decide it's the right time to join the dean campaign, i think you will be very happy you made the decision.
