Tuesday at a BBQ the Democratic Party had for credentialed bloggers at the convention, Howard Dean spoke and afterward visited with bloggers. As it happened, he sat down in an empty chair next to me and asked everyone at the table where we lived. He spoke a bit with some North Dakota bloggers about that state being in play for the Dems, and then turned to me and said, “So, Alabama, tell me what is going on there. We have some good things going on there, right? Patricia Todd? James Fields!”
While I told him that the best the Democrats could hope for in Alabama this election was that Obama would help them on downticket races, I have to admit here that I was impressed with his recall to come up with these two state legislators’ names.
He went on to add that in Alabama’s primary election this year, 60% of voters under 30 asked for a Democratic ballot instead of a Republican ballot.
In Dean’s remarks to the whole group, he mentioned that Democrats hoped to make inroads among young evangelicals, saying that polling showed their top three issues were poverty, the environment, and Darfur. He added that the message here is to “stop fighting about things you disagree on and start getting things done on issues you do agree on.”

Gov. Dean touched on the same issues on Friday night at the College Dems convention.
#1. That is a pretty skimpy web site.
Amen, I am thankful that the DCCC is backing Bobby Bright for Congress. Bobby is the only hope we have in 02 district for any kind of change. We certainly won’t get any if Jay Love was to be elected. All that the Bushies have done is destroy the US economy by starting wars, raising fuel prices, food prices, and bankrupting the US treasury. Yeah thats right, they keep sending 12 billion oversees to Iraq every month when our folks can’t even afford it. Yeah, borrow it from the Chinese and Saudis, they want to own us anyway. Sell it to them 12 billion at a time! It’s time to stop this stupid gambit that the Repubs have been running on us. Vote Bright for Congress on
Nov 4. Its time we take back our country, people.
The site is just another sore losing pathetic Jay Love propaganda ploy to bash Bright. This thoroughly convinces me that Love and his team are some of the most low down, dirtiest, lying rotton scoundrels breathing. I support Bright 100% and am very proud to say that he is definitely the best man for Congress. He maintains his dignity and this is what we need to represent us in the 02 district. Not a coward, name calling liar who does nothing but mud sling at his opponent. Jay Loves Taxes and we all know it.
Obama may help the down ticket races in the Black Belt, elsewhere he will be more of a liability. Notice how Griffith and Bright won’t even say if they will vote for him. What coattails!
that site is a joke. who in the 2nd congressional district even knows who Charlie Rangel is?
I am not in the 2nd but I know how powerful Rangel is in the democratic hierachy. Does anyone know if Troy King is getting a divorce, took off his wedding ring, or is it just a vicious rumor?
Who does Howard Dean say we should kill in Darfur? Genocide doesn’t stop with words.
Just Words… And unserious ones at that…
Danny, the attack website linked above is interesting in that the same people who did Love’s website did it. Kind of hard to say anyone other than the Love team is responsible that way.
I think it is a bad move. He already has a reputation as a negative campaigner and he is throwing the first mud here. I would not have done this – certainly not this early. We’ll see how it plays out but I cannot see it as being worth the risk.
The DNC will spend 600,000 in negative ads against Jay Love. And you think Love is a mud slinger? Give me a break.
The DNC hasn’t done it – go negative -yet, so it is very presumptive to assume they will.
Jay Love is directly conncted to this web page. And it isn’t me saying he runs negative camapigns – that’s what voters in the district have said in multiple polls.
Love’s strategy is risky. It could work but going negative in AUGUST for a November election smacks of something other than confidence.
That kind of mudslinging just don’t cut it in this race! This is what I call the JabberWocky Love Party pulling at straws! Bright will be victorious in Nov. and I can’t wait to show Love that such silly garbage has caused people to swing over to Bright!
Danny – I wondered if you would weigh in on this: doesn’t the “obobby” web page – taken in its entirety (whose photos are on it, use of “obobby” rather than Bright’s real name, etc.) – smack a bit of racism? It certainly uses racial elements to attack. What is your read?
14, racist? get serious.
Hahaha…Dems are on the ropes now…pulling out the race card. McCain just slam-dunked this for the Republicans.
Obobby. Yeah – real racist….what a moron post 14
Yes, the # 1 post with site is definitely a racist epitat and is illegal. The Bright Campaign should and will most certainly weigh in on that one. Danny probably hasn’t seen it yet. He should take a look for himself and he will see the racism it portrays.
Post 18…..Yawn. Typical democrat.
#18 – Call the Speech Police! Illegal Website!
Leftists (i.e., Democrats) can’t stand speech with which they disagree, so their first thought is invariably to suppress it.
How is it racist to note that Leftist Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Charlie Rangel support Bobby Bright? Or is it racist to link a Democratic Congressional candidate with the Democratic Presidential candidate, using satire in a play on their names?
92% support Obama……that is RACISM
The use of Obama’s symbols (in the photo at the top of the page) . . .the use of the name “Obobby” to merge with “Obama” . . .all the racial fear games . . .
Shame on you “Christian” Jay Love. You have no right to claim that term. None.
Christ would be ashamed of you and your tactics.
Dirty.
You guys are a bunch of whack jobs.
Dems are Racists….you just use minorities to get elected.
Dems use minorities to get elected….hmmm….YOU THINK?
This comment appears to be based on misinformation and has been removed.
FWIW, Jay Love and Bobby Bright go to the same church.
I may be reached via the contact page if anyone has clarification.

In response to comment #14, I don’t see racist elements in the site.
