Dean Musings
I donated $100 to the Dean campaign today, mostly triggered by his Internet Initiatives. I had to encourage that.But I gotta say, I'm getting a teensy bit turned off by the comments on his blog. Lots of blind rah-rah going on there. I watched him on Leno tonight, and I don't know what show those people were watching, but it wasn't exactly a stunning appearance. I guess it wasn't horrible, but I had more than a couple of winces.
Eventually Dean is just going to have to stop pretending that he's a smooth guy. Play the lowered expectations game. Bush didn't try to pretend he was smart, and half the nation ended up loving his goofy stupidity. Maybe Dean should go back to his rumpled suit.
I don't know if Dean will reach his $15 million or not, by the way. But he came damn close and it was really impressive. Plus, last quarter they ended up finding another few thousand from the envelopes that came in, so I'm pretty sure they'll exceed it comfortably. Right now they're slightly over 14.8 million.
Awesome! Thanks for donating. I hope they reach $15 million...they did not do it last night online but they said that they are still opening mail and counting checks and stuff, so they may end up with that much. I wish they would keep updating the bat each time they find more money so we know how close they are. Not that there is anything we can do now, but it would be fun to watch.
