Calling All Loyal Democrats! -

Calling All Loyal Democrats! - Please, please please please, following the example of your friends in Wisconsin in endorsing Howard Dean:

Howard Dean was victorious in a straw poll of Democratic activists at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention.

Dean beat eight competing Democrats in both categories -- delegates and alternates, and official guests.

John Kerry was second to Dean in the delegate count (126 to 33). Kerry also was second to Dean in the guest count (77 to 17).

Dean's combined total of 203 topped Kerry's combined total of 50.

I know, I know - it's just a straw poll. It means nothing. But given that, it's encouraging (to me as a Republican) to note that the frontrunners could be the likes of Dean and John "You know, I was in Vietnam" Kerry.

Either will make George McGovern's 1972 performance look good in comparison.
