Phase II: Reports Already!

By Anonymous -
San Francisco for Dean Co-Chair Paul Hogan reports on their weekend tabling efforts to expand the Dean base! Lots of great photos, and this particular paragraph really struck me:
We made sure to include the Latino, Asian and African American communities in our outreach efforts this weekend. At our Mission District table we had bilingual flyers and a Spanish-speaking volunteer. We also had a Cantonese-speaking volunteer at our 6th and Clement location.

The response was great! We hope to expand this outreach as we involve all of San Francisco's culturally diverse communities in our efforts to take our country back!
Cantonese? Wow.

Though it's impossible to post (or even reply to) all of the fantastic messages we get here at Dean Nation, as you post to your blogs and update your sites with Phase II reports, drop us a line. At the least, I'd like to do a Phase II Weekend Recap with links to City Dean and State Dean portals and blogs. Bravo to Paul and Shane and all of the awesome San Francisco Dean Team volunteers!

Am I missing something here?

Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
