Yes, the BRAD BLOG is endorsing Howard Dean for today’s “Super Tuesday” Primary Election.
Why vote for a man who has unofficially left the race? Let’s take a look…
At this time, it seems that John Kerry, the Media-Endorsed, Party-Approved candidate is likely to win California (where I live) and just about every other state hosting a primary today. With these wins, he will become the Candidate Apparent for the Dems in 2004.
If you or anyone you know, is actually personally excited by or interested in John Kerry – beyond the fact that you believe he is currently the quickest route to disposing of The Shrub please COMMENT below and tell me why. I’d love to know. And, while we’re at it, I’d love to meet anyone – anyone – who actually likes John Kerry. That meeting ought to be a load of fun.
But I digress…
So John Kerry will likely win everywhere today, and will become the nominee soon enough. And yet, some Former Deaniacs are considering voting for John Edwards today. For some reason. I suppose, since it’s not a vote for John Kerry.
But if you’re going to vote for “a loser” anyway, why not vote for someone who may end up with enough Delegates (Super and otherwise) to affect the way the Party is run at the Convention and/or beyond?
A vote for Dean may mean a change for the better in the Democratic Party. Whereas a vote for Edwards is nothing more than a vote for the guy who’s going to come in second place, and probably end up as Kerry’s Veep anyway.
If you ever had any interest in what Dean had to say, if you ever felt he was given a raw deal by the Party and/or the Media, if you are able to recognize how enormously he has already effected the entire Party Platform, now is your only chance to say or do anything about it. As little as it may be.
If you’re really concerned about removing Bush from office, and if you’re not, you should have your priorities examined, you can always vote for Kerry on November 2nd. But for today, if you want to say anything with your vote, stand up and say something for your party by voting for Howard Dean.
Here endeth the endorsement.
Vote for Dean? You are so out of touch with America. But you are right on one point – Kerry is unlikable!
Okey, doke. As you know – because based on the other comments you’ve posted here, clearly you are very wise – Howard Dean singlehandedly did more to get the Democratic Party back in touch with America than anybody. Thanking him for that, by giving him more delegates (equalling leverage to *keep* a faltering party moving, perhaps, back towards it’s correct direction) at the Convention could only further help the party.
So how exactly am I "outta touch with America?" Please let me know. Or have your debate tactics been learned from Master Rush? Hurl insults and duck out before you have to answer any actual questions?
America waits for your answer with baited breath.
Liberals cannot win. Could not win in 1980, 1984, and 1988. Southern Democrats are a lot more conservative than the Deans and Kerrys. Reagan Democrats will not vote for Kerry or Dean. Kerry won’t get the independent vote either.
Are this the same one southern Democrat you know that use the N word?
And you understand that Liberals did win in 1992 and 1996, and (really) in 2000, but for sake of pedantics we’ll excuse that bit of history.
> Liberals did win in 1992 and 1996
They ran as centrists. They are now running as flaming liberals.
And Bush ran as a Compassionate Conservative. What’s your point?
"They are now running as flaming liberals."
Uh, no…I wish! But perhaps if you say it enough, people will believe it. (See the “Deliver us from Hannity…” article which you seem to keep proving before our very eyes time and time again. Thanks!
