Students for Dean are taking other candidates' supporters to skool

[pruner]

Almost one year before the 2004 presidential elections, University (of Minnesota) students have begun to organize support for the candidates.

…

Junior Emily Souza organized the University (Dean) group last March and said it now has more than 250 people on its e-mail list.

Former University DFL president and current member Andy Pomroy said students supporting Democratic presidential candidates John Kerry and Wesley Clark also plan groups on campus.

…

While other groups plan to start soon, Students for Dean meets every other Tuesday and Thursday to organize volunteers, coordinate events and raise interest in Dean’s campaign.

Souza said there are about six new members at each meeting.

…

On Saturday, members marched beside members of the striking American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3800 — and they also brought them coffee last Wednesday to show their support.

“We want (the union) to know that we support them,” Souza said.

1. Wow!

I've been hearing the same thing, that the Dean folks recognized that school started up in August and September, and they were ready to grab the attention of all the incoming and returning students.

You can't do it in November and December now. It's over. Back-to-school time or bust.

By August or September of next year (2004), the nominee is chosen, and it's time for the general election.
