And you're welcome. The fact is that if Dean were as bad as some try to portray him to be, we would not have re-elected him 5 times. Personally, when I see that the fringe groups on both sides don't like a politician it's a very good indicator that they do a good job representing everyone in between. That's definitely been the case with Howard Dean. The few critics he has in Vermont are going to be loud not because they are trying to protect the country from someone they think is a horrible leader, but because they want attention. People need to keep that in mind. These people have alterior motives. Annette Smith and her organization are not free from scandal, either. They got into trouble for their financial dealings at some point. I'm not sure of the details, but I believe it had something to do with them running things to make a profit rather than operate as a genuine community charity organization. Perhaps that is why Ms. Smith didn't need good, environmental friendly businesses like the rest of us do. Sorry, but I really don't like these people who move here from other states and then interfere in what we want for our state. It's VERY annoying.
