things change. It was tough being a Deaniac but we turned to Kerry and worked hard for him.

But even though the centrist Dems held a press conference to say Dean would not be president...we still stuck around and worked hard.

But this primary has changed things. DWS publicly said Bernie was not a Democrat, she has gone against the neutrality rules that govern the DNC. We have been considered no longer Democrats, yet expected to be there at the end with money and votes.

Time will tell.
