New Poll

By Brian Ulrich -
The bad news is that Dean fell a bit...

Kerry - 34%
Clark - 19%
Dean - 15%
Lieberman - 6%

The good news is that if commenters on Daily Kos threads like this one are right, this drop is the result of losing a high Tuesday number, and today's result is actually higher than yesterday's. You can decide how much faith to place in one-day totals, but these are grounds for optimism. All February 3 results, of course, will be affected by New Hampshire.

More responses on Dean wowing the CA Dems

By Aziz P. -
Regular DeanBlog contributor Carl Withak has a long post full of photos (and video?) from the convention floor about Dean's speech: With each line the Governor completed the audience became more energized. By the time he had completed the above statement he had at least 80% of the crowd off their seats, screaming and waving Dean signs! No other speech before or after received anything like this. At best, a speaker could count on 30-40% of the crowd to get off of their seats and applaud. This show of support was deafening. ... As the good Doctor began to wrap things up he seemed to feed off the audience. His face become red, nearly the entire convention on their feet, screaming his praise, Governor Dean bellowed, "I want my country back! We want our country back!" From the looks of it, California is definitely Dean Country among the party faithful. ... Outside the convention doors hordes of delegates converged on the Dean booth snatching up whatever Dean material...

John Kerry and the Wisdom of the Crowd

By Dignan -
It is generally said that there is wisdom is crowds. And this is often the case. However in election season those crowds turn into mobs and the wisdom disappears. This latest Kerry flap is just the latest example of this. The majority of the conservative blogosphere is roiling with righteous indignation about Kerry, hoping that this is their "October surprise". (Fortunately, a few of my favorites including James Lileks , Rod Dreher , and La Shawn Barber are not drinking the Kool-Aid). After hearing many conservatives scream for years about wanting to campaign on the issue, it is disheartening to see so many jumping on the bandwagon of a non-issue. I suppose what keeps me from being a cynic is being willing to assume the best of people, not the worst. Some might think that this goes against my Christian theology (original sin and all that) but it doesn't. While we are all certainly flawed and make mistakes on a daily basis, we are also made in the image of God (memo to m...

Working hard... for you!

By popular demand, Aziz has created a bumper sticker which prominently features the official Dean campaign website address! Click on the link to see the new sticker, then take a few moments to browse the rest of the products. Buy now and buy often! UPDATE (by Aziz) : I'd just like to make a note, that merchandise from the Dean store is NOT the best way to contribute financially to the Dean campaign. If you want to support Dean, the best way is to contribute money directly to Dean , not to cafepress. The Dean merchandise is important, in that it helps raise Dean's profile and gets the word out - which is essential to Dean's campaign (because it broadens the pool of potential contributors !). And items like Dean 2004 bumper stickers are critical in helping to build that critical mass which Dean will need to conquer Iowa and NH and ultimately, the nomination. But, if you have a fixed budget, and have to choose between buying a bumper sticker or sending three bucks...
