Come on people, do you think Dean is going to give up a 40 MILLION Dollar a month money machine!?!!?

With an average contribution of under 150?

Let's do the math, 2 million people donating to Obama in the GE * 25$ (and if you aint got 25 dollahs and you're posting here then you gots other issues) = 50 million skins in the pen.... A MONTH!!

Hell, if attacking Iran doesn't work for the GOP just watch for McStain to ask for the VP spot after Obama gets through laying the money hammer.

Lets chill, and be patient...the abusive spouse will eventually get tired and sit down for a spell and we can get to taking care of people.

Thx

1. BO's fundraising strategy is very Howard Deanesque

Dean and Obama make a terrific team.

2. Yeap, I think Rove & nem see this & that's why a low scale Iran war is on the table. It could be a..

...couple of generations before neo-clowns become relevant again.

3. Obama was one of the original "Dean Dozen"

I wrote a blog post a while ago about how Obama had taken up the Dean mantle: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/17/173655/694/408/457252

In doing research for that post, I discovered that Obama had drawn comparisons to Dean even before he won the Senate primary and became one of the "Dean Dozen".

4. After hearing Terry McStupif talk the other night on Hannity ...well....it's a good thing for Dean.

Dean did more good as the party leader than the prez IMHO

5. I would definitely agree with that

In hindsight, much as I would like to say that Dean would have won the election if he had been the nominee instead of Kerry, I don't believe that to be the case. Dean's supporters were more passionate but we were passionate enough about defeating Bush that we all came out for Kerry...Kerry didn't lose because of a lack of turnout or enthusiasm among the Democratic base. He lost because he lost the center, and Dean would not have done any better there. But he has taken the model he used on his campaign and used it to make the DNC more grassroots and more democratic, and he laid the groundwork for someone like Obama to come and pick up the mantle.
