howard dean
Can you provide an e-mail address for Howard Dean at the DNC? Would like to get him more vociferous about the Bush scandals that seem to have disappeared from public view.Would like to have him hitting Bush over the head with the missing nine BILLION dollars in Iraq, with the guckert scandal, with the upcoming second anniversary of Mission Accomplished, etc., etc.. I want him to make some noise about these things, don't let up on the Bush screw-ups, give them the publicity they deserve and demand some answers!

1. I think Dean is busy trying to reorganize and reinvigorate the DNC

2. Dean's answer to that.
From his interview at the DNC blog:

"Governor, will you be participating in the public discourse (and thereby exerting your influence over it) in the form of TV appearances on talk shows, guest columns in major newspapers, and the like?

Di R. Oak Hill, VA

Right now we are focusing on local press when I travel and when President Bush travels to combat his message. I have been doing radio and satellite TV interviews from DNC headquarters, when I am in town too.

I will be on television talk shows and will eventually do interviews with the national press."


Please remember the party, mostly the DLC, DSCC, and DCCC have warned him off setting policy...we need to ask them to not be shutting us out. By warning him off, they are telling the grassroots that we need to be careful as well.

3. I think it is very smart to start at the local level to really get the lay
of the land before facing MSM propagandists especially on the air. I think it is smart of him to follow Bush's path.

How much policy setting did McAulliffe do? I'll bet it was plenty.

We need to let the DLC know that it is OK for Dean to be a Dem.

4. It's also a matter of timing.
Had Abu Ghraib broken about three months later, Kerry might have won by a landslide.

5. I remain convinced they would have bungled THAT opportunity as well.

That campaign was pathetic.
Oh, btw, Dean reviews THIS feedback page:

6. Its probably better to tell the media to start reporting on these scandals
They seem poised to get a little tougher with * these days.
