Re: Current stage of grief (2.00 / 1)

I do understand that because I felt the same when Dean dropped out of the 2004 race after the media wouldn't stop running that truncated tape of his yell. When I saw his speech originally I thought it was wonderful including the red meat yell for the supporters. I believe he would have won New Hampshire and then other states if they had not run that into the ground. It was really unfair and finished his candidacy. Also I had heard that Kerry's people had been calling people pretending to be from the Dean campaign and doing something bad (odd, I can't remember what now). So I detested John Kerry for awhile.

It wasn't until the convention that I got behind Kerry. I was genuinely inspired by his speech and from then on was excited about his campaign. But I still love Howard Dean and wish he had been the candidate. If you watched the convention you will know that a lot of Dean supporters were still crazy about him at that time. I was so very gratified at the huge upwelling of applause and joy when Dean went to the podium to speak. I assume the same will happen when Hillary speaks at the convention.
