Reply #14: If there is a non-Dean Dem nominee, that nominee better respect Dean and [View All]

his supporters and not take our support for granted. The Dem Party leaders are a problem in the Party and in this country as well as Bush and the Repukes. The Dem Party barons opposed to Dean support the right wing/pro-corporate status quo. They don't want change, which is what Dean's campaign is all about.

If the non-Dean Dem nominee is picked in the backrooms by the Party barons due to a locked convention, that nominee will have to fight a legitamization crisis along with the Rove media machine. If the non-Dean Dem nominee wins the nomination fair and square with the people's votes, then there won't be a legitamization problem.

While most of us will vote for the Dem nominee over Bush that does not mean that we will work and contribute $ to the Dem nominee if that nominee shafts us or Dean. Many of us Dean supporters want regime change in the Dem Party as well as in our country. That is why many people who have never contributed to a politician before are contributing to Dean. We want our country and Party back from special interests and corporate crooks!
