Dean told me he likes Edwards

Last night I volunteered at a DFA2 fundraiser in LA.  After schmoozing with the VIPs, Gov. Dean came downstairs to thank the volunteers.  I had had my picture taken with him before so I was taking pictures of him with the other volunteers.  Then he asked if I wanted my picture taken and I said OK.  

While someone else was trying to figure out my camera I said "The next time you see John Kerry, tell him he made a great choice" and he said "I think he made a great choice, too."

•  Dean ... the real party animal

  When I grow up, I hope I can be Dr Dean.

  Maybe not run for President, but be such a friendly guy.  He really believes in advancing the party, and advancing what we stand for.

•  Does this mean

  that the "forcing a floor vote to give Dean the VP spot" idea is squelched once and for all?

  And yes, I still wish he were the nominee.

  •  Draft

    The guy behind the Draft Dean for VP "movement", Mike Meurer, was at the event last night.  I don't know if they spoke, though.

  •  I doubt it...

      Eh, I could see them pushing through the vote just to reiterate the fact that Dean has a lot of support.

      Not to aid Dean personally, but the causes and issues he espouses.

      I'm not sure that's a bad thing, insofar as I supported Dean based on three things: A willingness to talk honestly about the war, a deep concern for the fiscal health of the country, and a realization that health care is becoming a bigger and bigger problem and will have to be addressed.

      I think those issues need play, so I support bringing attention to them. (Not that I'm suggesting Kerry and Edwards don't care about them....)
