My Letter to the Editor

My letter to the editor, in response to the article New Lieberman ad takes swipe at Dean
I was disappointed to read about Joe Lieberman’s swipe at Howard Dean, “New Lieberman ad takes swipe at Dean”, Nov 14. "I don't think it's right to have raised a divisive symbol like the confederate flag” Lieberman is quoted as saying.
What I don’t think is right is for Lieberman to attack a fellow Democrat for encouraging people who have stopped voting as Democrats to look at the issues that really matter and return to the Democratic party.
State Rep. - Trip to Burlington

Over the past couple of weeks, Zephyr Teachout has been traveling around the country, initially in an http://blog.deanforamerica.com/archives/001961.html >old Airstream bus before it broke down, speaking with grassroots organizers about the campaign and what they are doing in their area. She has been posting back to the blog her experiences. They are calling this Drive for Democracy, but I like to think of this as On the Road with Zephyr Teachout.
Cows?

In today's New York Times, there is an editorial, When Good Photo-Ops Go Bad
It ends off with the comment:
Right now, Mr. Bush's potential opponents may be enjoying the administration's current embarrassment, but they'll feel different the next time they're in Iowa and a staff member announces it's time for the portrait with the cow.
I found this particularly interesting in light of an entry in Rick Klau's blog yesterday entitled Caption contest showing Howard Dean standing in front of a cow.

For those of you who haven't checked out DeanSpace.org, please do. It is based on Drupal and has some interesting potential for distributed grassroots campaigning.
Also, they have now added Trackbacks.
