| Dean seeking advice from Jimmy Carter - no, really.....lol |
| 2003-12-01 |
| Via Drudge - Trying to reestablish that oh-so-successful Carter foreign/domestic policy: Dem hopeful Howard Dean has called former President Jimmy Carter to give updates, ask questions and seek advice, TIME magazine is planning to report on Monday. The magazine asks Carter about the former Vermont governorâs chances of winning the 2004 Presidential race: âHe seems to be doing quite well. He came down to Georgia when he was just planning the campaign and talked to me and my wife about the basic tactics of â76. On occasion, he has called me to give me a report on his campaign or to ask a question.â Think Dean has a snowballâs chance in hell in the south after the way he waffled/misspoke about the confederate flag? Does Carter support Deanâs candidacy? âNo, Iâm going to support whoever I think will have the best chance next November.â and that would be....Al Sharpton? Duh....itâs Dean or Gephardt Was Dean offensive or just too honest in pandering saying he wanted the support of southern whites with Confederate flags in their cars? âAs I told him afterward, if you had just said you want the support of southern whites that drive pick-up trucks, the same message would have got across. But when he threw in the Confederate flag, it showed a little bit of an incompatibility with national opinion.â especially when he backed away after getting criticism Do any of the democratic candidates have a chance against Bush? Carter: âIt depends on two things. One is whatâs going on in Iraq and the war against terrorism. And the other is the economy. I think itâs too early to say whatâs going to be happening in either." Kreskin heâs not.... Developing... |

| #9 There is nothing wrong about taking advice from Jimmy Carter. For instance it was Jimmy's advice who led me to watch "Gone with the wind". I absolutely loved it, one of the greatest movies of all time, I have watched it at least ten times and I have read the book. Tanks Jimmy. If I were growing peanuts I would also hear from him. His advice in politics? Very useful, a compass who points to the South: if you know it and go in the opposite direction than suggested then you cannot be wrong. |

| #8 Jeez- and to think that just 10 short months ago, I was a Democrat. I got over being a yellow dog Dhimmicrat after 9/11. Previously, the cumulative impact of Clinton's Marc Rich pardon and the vandalism inflicted on the White House by the Clintons' entourage had made me progressively more leery of the Dhimmicrats. But 9/11 was the tipping point. |

| #7 "Does Carter support Deanâs candidacy? 'No, Iâm going to support whoever I think will have the best chance next November.'â Hot damn, even Jimmy Carter's going to vote for Bush. I just hope he keeps quiet about it. |

| #3 Yeah, Carter's the person I'd ask about running a campaign based on confronting terrorism and improving the economy. |

| #2 So Howard Dean is consulting Jimmy, eh? Boy, there's a source of fresh, new ideas for the Democratic Party. Jeez- and to think that just 10 short months ago, I was a Democrat. These people are doomed. |

| #1 Think Dean has a snowballâs chance in hell in the south after the way he waffled/misspoke about the confederate flag? That plus his self-proclaimed metrosexual status would make him a tough sell to southern Dems, I'd think. |
