Stylin' with Dean

"He had no choice." "It shows confidence." "Its a shame that he has to go around the limits, but if he wants to win..." So goes the office opinion on Dean foregoing federal matching in order to be able to ultimately exceed the mandated spending limits. And "SNAPS to the Dean campaign for the way they polled their supporters to get direction on this..and then they went with it." I'm getting a strong sense here that its not just Dean's stance on the issues, but the look and feel and style of this grass roots campaign that so many in my neighborhood find compelling. Dean seems to be mobilizing a lot of young people--not too surprising maybe, but then getting that acceleration using the jazzy web technology to organize, spread the word and raise those nickels and dimes--is capturing a lot of energy around here.
