Is Dean the next Cabbage Patch Kid?
Remember how parents lined up outside Toys 'R Us, waiting for shipments, fighting each other to get the coveted "flavor of the month" Cabbage Patch doll?

Many a child (or parent) simply thought they could not live without the ugly little troll looking dolls.

So now we have a Presidential campaign, where a small state Governor is garnering headlines, and suddenly supporters are lining up, believing they are part of a historic movement, comparing this angry little opportunist to Ghandi, MLK, RFK, Clinton.

This too (thank God) shall pass.

3. Is Dean is the next President Harry Truman?
"The buck stops here."

"I don't think the son of a bitch {Vice-President Nixon} knows the difference between telling the truth and lying."

"I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it is hell."

7. Dean is Definetly "The Buck Stops Here" kinda guy!
We have some very determined People here in Upstate New York who believe in Dean and are working so hard for him!

I met a Dr. who went to medical school with Dean @ the Dean Meetup on Wed. night! Dr Lowenstein said he believed that Dean is who this Country needs now!

We also wrote our letters to fellow Democrats in New Hampshire and next week we're taking it to another level of getting out the registration in the inner city! I'm ready! :-)

15. Not to get off subject...
But Yoshi is technically a dragon ;)
While I'm not a Dean supporter, anything that generates this much passion and interest for a canidate running against Bush is AWESOME!

20. I have to admit I think Dean-mania is a fad too
Remember the "Pet Rock" craze? This is another thing that came and went.
