I've been thinking about this primary season and I have to say....
It isn't over until it's over, even with the Gore endorsement. Granted, it's a very big endorsement, but it won't have an effect on the strongest supporters of other candidates like Clark, Kucinich, and Edwards. But this endorsement will have the intended effect on the undecideds and in boosting Dean in the polls.

I have to say that we have about 41 days left before the primaries, and it's going to be a very interesting ride. I'll be watching the debate with interest tonight like all of you will. So, don't feel bitter or resentful of the Gore endorsement-------as I like to say sometimes, heh, "keep truckin' on!" and support your candidate(s) any way you can....

;-)

1. Endorsement Should Make for Interesting Debate
The endorsement should make for an even more colorful debate tonight...as if there wasn't already enough on the table to fight over!

Yee-haw!

4. We need to take this as an opportunity to redouble our efforts
If you normally talk to one person a day about Dean, you need to talk to two people a day about Dean. If you normally write three letters a week to newspapers, Iowans, New Hampshireites - write six. If you normally try to give $10 everytime the bat goes up, give $20.

We've been given an opportunity to excel, but we still have to take it. The door has been opened, we still have to go through it.

We cannot rest on Gore's laurels, there is no rest until Dean sleeps in the White House.

5. I know......this is definitely no time to rest!
We're doomed if we start resting on our laurels------it's hard work that's gotten us to where we are today.

New York Primaries!
Thank you, Al Gore! :D

9. I think it'll get interesting.

Clark's going to take a few primaries, I still believe.

And the media loves a horse race. They can't stand to not sporticize everything.
