The Dean buttons, stickers, and signs are still there until the Dr. says otherwise. After that, I'll pull the lever for
"That Carey" (as my Deaniac mom names him). But no buttons, stickers, signs for him. Just some indigestion.
In any event, I still have all that tons of pro-Dean energy just wasting away. Local politics? Sewn up for democrats sinces Moses was a pup. The arcane NYC political machinery wouldn't welcome me anyway. Pure outsider.
I don't believe in the translation idea. I know Dean and that's why I support him. I don't know these other candidates. What if they are old party hacks too? Not to my taste.
What about a lobbying group though? Not a new democratic flavored politcal party, but a pro-reform lobby group headed by the doc and people of his ilk?
Just a thought..
