2500-3000 people turn out for Dean in Tucson, AZ
Gov. Dean just got done addressing a town hall meeting on health care in Tucson and reports are that well over 2,000 people attended. Not bad for a candidate who is not spending any money on media in Arizona. He is off to Seattle now and then will be in Wisconsin (Milwaukee) tonight.

I smell a comeback coming our way. Speaking of comebacks our comeback bat is closing quickly on $1.5 million. The troops are enthused. We miss Trippi but think Roy Neal is hitting the right buttons and knows what he is doing.

We will get as many delegates as we can on 2/3 (and don't count Dean out of making decent showings in New Mexico, Arizona, and even South Carolina). And then it is on to our big tests next weekend in Michigan, Washington State and Maine.

Dean Supporters, Don't give up hope. Remember we still lead in delegates. We have won DC, came in third in Iowa, and came in a solid second in NH. We have a candidate to truly believe in. We are coming back.

4. I read his message to supporters
and approve of what he is doing. We know we have to win somewhere in the next couple of weeks, and we are taking our stand in Washington, Michigan, Maine, and Wisconsin (as well as Tennessee and Virginia). We will do better than expected in some of the 2/3 states and get some delegates.

3. That's great!!
I think most people that show up to hear him will likely vote for him. His speeches are passionate and his ideas are sensible...Damn I hope he proved everyone wrong and makes a strong comeback!

GO DEAN!!! :D

8. thanks for invading a pro-Dean post
that included absolutely no criticism of Kerry just to try to dampen Dean supporters spirits. I have news for you, the tactics some of you are displaying on this board to Dean supporters and Clark supporters, especially will not play well for party harmony should your guy get the nomination. There are such things as a gracious loser (for instance I wrote a post congratulating Kerry on his victory on Tuesday night) and gracious winners.

7. The troopers are rallying.
We are going to take a fierce beating on 2/3. Don't kid yourself, it's going to be bad and the media is going to smother us in tales of the death of the Dean Machine.

This strategy CAN work, but we have got to be prepared to weather the next week. Suck it up, don't give up hope, we can make history here! And swing that damned bat if you haven't yet!
