Gen Dean rally in the Charleston, SC

By Anonymous -
Click the link above for a great report on the Gen Dean rally in Charleston by Dean National Jen in SC:
When Dean mentioned the importance of the South Carolina primary, I shouted "Feb. 3" and he repeated it.
Among the topics he touched on were the deceptiveness of the Bush administration about the war and other things; the need to get the economy going; his desire to be sure every American has healthcare; the South's loss of textile jobs over the last 30 years, and the myth that the American middle class got a tax cut.
He also pointed out that SC has been voting more or less for Republicans for the last 20-30 years (true) and asked, "What do you have to show for it?" It's a valid question. SC is a poor state with big problems, from domestic violence to children in poverty to low-wage workers without healthcare to environmental erosion.
In my opinion (and Dean's), South Carolina would be better off if we'd wake up and realize that we'd be better served with Democrats in office.

Sounds like a great time, Jen. And it's nice to finally put a face with your name. =) Way to go, South Carolina!

Am I missing something here?

Or: how I stopped worrying and learned to support the spread of democracy in the Middle East. Hello, Dean Nation! The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. 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
