Jerome is exactly right about Meetup. If you haven't done it already, go to dean2004.meetup.com and sign up. Also, please don't underestimate the importance of this March 31 deadline. This is one of those weeks where every contribution counts triple, as (1) cash; (2) support; (3) the power of the net. Give 'em Hell Howard, and contribute. We'd like to raise $100,000 over the net in the next week.

WBUR Boston's public radio show The Connection has a segment on Dean:
The Buzz for Dr. Dean
Sell the sizzle, not the steak. It's an old advertising maxim that applies whether you're selling T-bones or political candidates. In a field of nine Democrats, that most Americans still can't name, people in Iowa have a definite advantage. With the Iowa caucuses, the first official contest for the Democratic presidential contenders, just six months away, voters get the chance to have coffee and more coffee with the candidates.
Right now, the word from the cornfields is that former Vermont Governor Howard Dean is the man to beat. He's against the war with Iraq. For gay civil unions. He's raising money and expectations and restarting an old debate over whether Democrats with progressive views can win elections.
I haven't listened to it yet - what did you think of it?
