Enough! What short memories we all have. So Dean is down 55-37. Big deal. This poll shows Bush garnering 27 percent of black vote against Dean. Yeah, I really believe that. Give me a break. Figure historically high minority and base turnout people. For the Dems. In Dec. of 99, Gore was down anywhere from 12 to 18 points depending on the poll you looked at. And the thing is, people knew Gore. He had near 100 percent name ID. So it looked hopeless. It wasn't. Look, 45-60 percent don't even know much about Dean's policies, and he is still doing better than Reagan, Clinton, and Gore at this point in their respective runs. That tells me 2 things: anti-Bush sentiment and a strong interest in change. Hey, the door is cracked open for us to compete. The question is, do we have the balls to kick it off it's hinges to deliver the type resounding Democratic victory I sense the country is ready for?
