Okay - I was really depressed yesterday but wore my Dean button. I saw all the headline's: Dean KO'd, Kerry Wins, blah blah blah.
But I reminded myself of a few things:
Only Dean is challenging the party apparatus.
Dean is a third-party candidate in his own party.
Today he IS the prominent anti-war voice and I still believe invading Iraq is a criminal act, so Dean still speaks to me and for me.
What this means is, I have hope even though this will be tough row to hoe.
He may lose. This will be hard to swallow. But his contribution, even to this point, is amazing. Our country will change.
And why should I fall in lock-step behind the elites that rolled over for the worst president ever? I have integrity. I do want my country back.
What's next, if Dean doesn't win? We can use the same funding techniques and advertising techniques to get liberal dems, progressives, Greens, Working Family party candidates elected all over the country. We don't have to take this one-party country anymore.
Peace
