Reply #27: WHY DEAN IS DIFFERENT [View All]

[Capn Sunshine]

it seems I have to weigh in on this every day, there's that many folks here who haven't really examined the Dean campaign. Now, I'll take you at your word that you are a Dean supporter.

This is important! Bear with me. Did you notice something "special" at your meetings?

What I'm referring to is the presence of Deans support from the "66%"; those folks that have not been involved in politics for the past ten years if ever. The 66% of eligible Americans who haven't voted for awhile because they haven't seen anything worth voting for.

30-40% of Deans support comes from those folk. Off the radar totally, not even remotely likely voter. Non voter if anything. These folks are energized by Howard Dean articulating what they have long felt! THIS is a HUGE difference between us and any other candidacy out there. We really ARE the grass roots. We aren't necessarily worried about the "swing voter". Not when we are tapping into the massive numbers ( maybe 10x the swing vote!) of the disaffected. So worry about Clark, it's all well and good. He's a good man. But there is no way in hell his people are going to run the kind of campaign we are. It's apples and oranges.

Pay attention to the end of the month. We're raising FIVE MILLION DOLLARS just to show we CAN. Nobody can touch us for fundraising. Nobody. Because we're doing it with nickels and dimes, on the iternet, we don't rent a room, we don't serve rubber chicken, we just collect money, honey, and THAT will be the ultimate difference in this campaign. This really is all about each and every one of YOU.

YOU.

With luck we can get the honorable Clark supporters with us too. They want what we want, what we all want, and what we have the power to do:

TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK!
