Subject: RE: BS: Howard Dean's Blog
Today I was on the phone with Governor Dean. What can I say... it all seemed calm, cool, and normal, to just be on a conference call with him and others. He told us what volunteers need to focus on before the end of Sept. and answered some questions like the candidacy of Clark (he said Clark is a good man, not worried because it is so late to come in to the campaign). Sept 29 is the day we will meet at house parties and take a conference call with Gov. Dean, an attempt to break the Guinness World record for the number of people on a conference call... and raise at least $200 from each house party. I'm opening my house to others here who want to be in on the conference call on the speaker phone. Look in your area and you may be able to find one you can attend (or start one). www.deanforamerica.com/housecall
The campaign is also sending a Dean DVD out to each host so we can watch a presentation. Campaigning has never been so much fun.

As I said earlier in this thread, I am seeing a lot of Republicans and former Bush voters fed up and checking out Dean. It is something the Gov mentioned on the phone today, too. He is hearing first hand from people who are Republicans or have relatives who are Republicans who are going to support him. It is similar to the way some Democrats went for Reagan.... but these Republicans are concerned about fiscal responsibility and truth about Iraq.
