5. Skipping Ohio

His office, which was initially very interested, has turned down attending the Annual Dinner of the largest Democratic county in Ohio on Sunday, April 10 - Cuyahoga County. What gives?

If they moved it to Columbus would he attend?

[madfloridian]

7. They turned down our county in Florida once also.

I think they try to do everything they can, but there is still organizing to do on the ground in DC. I guess they try, but the demand is huge.

[OzarkDem]

8. Its one of the biggest Dem counties

in the US. I hope he plans to stop by sometime this year, or they can forget 2006 and 2008.

The brief message declining the invitation almost seemed like a snub. I hope he has something else more important to attend to.

[madfloridian]

9. Well, he can do nothing right now...no matter how hard he works.

Thanks for the confidence.

[OzarkDem]

10. His office

could decline politely and offer a good explanation along with an offer to visit at a later date. That's not very hard to do.

I've been a huge Dean supporter for the last 2 years, but have been dismayed at the way he's started relations with Dems in Ohio since taking over the chairmanship. Its puzzling, this isn't the first time he's snubbed Cuyahoga County. What gives?

[madfloridian]

11. I think you should ask through the DNC.

There is a way to contact there.

Since he is on the road nearly every day, I think you are being a little unfair. He is not exactly sitting on his butt.

[madfloridian]

12. A Dem group is marking down this Yahoo story about Dean and Arkansas.

Help rate this story. One does not have to like Howard Dean to be glad he is making efforts in the South. It is a shame to see it rated so low.

LITTLE ROCK - "Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont and now chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will be the keynote speaker Friday at the Association of State Democratic Chairs luncheon.

Dean will highlight the committee's agenda to strengthen the state parties in his speech.

"We are excited about Governor Dean's first visit to Arkansas as Democratic National Committee Chairman," said Jason Willett, chairman of the Democratic Party of Arkansas.

Willett said Dean shares many values with Arkansans. "He is a fiscal conservative and a social progressive who has a strong record of fighting for seniors and working families," he said. "END SNIP

The C-Span video from his TN appearance should be up soon. He was warmly received. It was a great speech and response. I resent that groups that claim to be Democrats would mark a story down like this. And no, I won't link. Just take my word. I don't lie.

13. Kick in case anyone will vote it up.

16. A Dem group? Really?

That's weird.

I gave it a 5.

BTW, is there some site that has Dean's scheduled appearances? I'd like to go if he speaks down here in Miami sometime.

17. Steelworkers' Convention in Las Vegas on the 14th.

http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20050408005407&newsLang=en

"The United Steelworkers of America (USWA) convenes its 32nd Constitutional Convention April 11 in the hope of confirming a proposed merger with the PACE international union. A "Building Power Action Plan" will be presented to delegates at the convention, outlining recommendations for organizing new members, forging more global alliances with other unions, and mobilizing for even greater legislative and political activism throughout North America."

SNIP..."A special convention of PACE delegates will gather at the nearby Riviera Hotel Apr. 12-13 to vote on a proposed merger agreement between the two unions.

Subject to approval of the merger, a historic combined convention of 5,000 delegates from both unions will meet on Apr. 14 at the Hilton. The merger will create the largest industrial union in North America with 850,000 active members in 8,000 bargaining units in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.

The merged unions will be named the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union. The shorter name will be United Steelworkers (USW). The enlarged union will represent 1.25 million active and retired members in the basic manufacturing and service sectors. The USW will be the dominant union in the industries for metals, paper, forestry, rubber, plastics, mining, glass, petroleum, chemicals and machinery."

Great list of speakers:
"Apr. 11 Keynote Address---'Building Power,' Leo Gerard,
USWA President.
Report--'Officers Report on USWA Activism'
Speakers-- U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA); U.S. Rep.Stephanie

18. A kick for the "where's Dean" folks.

:kick:

That is why I posted this.

19. Another event on the 20th, miles from the other one.

I found this in the MN section.

Howard Dean is coming to town
A big ad in the opex section of the strib

"Can he say that!?"

Wednesday, April 20 in the Convention Center Auditorium at 6:30 pm to benefit the ACLU of Minnesota. Tickets $30 at 651-645-4097 or support@aclu-mn-org

If they rent the Convention Center this means that they are expecting a huge crowd.."

[janx]

20. Yes, but--

is there a Colorado stop?

[madfloridian]

21. LOL

He must be falling down on the job. :evilgrin:

[janx]

22. I guess the guy is a little busy...

But I just want to know when he's coming here. I'll probably get an email before it happens, but would you let me know if you hear anything?

[madfloridian]

23. I don't blame you. I doubt he will come to Florida at all.

Haven't seen you around much..hope all is ok.

[janx]

24. Everything's fine--just very busy!

Thanks, MF.

[madfloridian]

25. Is that your dog in the picture?

So cute and sweet-looking.

[janx]

26. Yes. Same dog--avatar image is more recent (though skewed).

The other is from when he was a pup--spring/summer 2000.

[madfloridian]

27. And here he was at the Radio TV dinner...same table as Rove.

http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlDC/events/radiotv_dinner_part_ii_20274.asp

"Many guests raced through their meals at their assigned tables to mingle with other guests and tables. The oddest pairing of the evening, as has been noted elsewhere, belonged to ABC, who placed Howard Dean and Karl Rove just one seat apart--and placed George Stephanopoulos right in between."
