Was heartend to notice that the CNN site had an article on Moveon.org's internet-based primary. Considering the source, the article seems fairly balanced. They declare Howard Dean a front-runner, primarily because he has made the most robust use of the internet to date. What I've read about Dean's positions makes me confortable with supporting him should Kucinich not win the nomination.

I think it's important to support the candidate whose positions come the closest to mirroring our own as we approach the primaries. The Democrats have gained no merit by trying to appear to be slightly less bad Republicans. Many of the populist issues Senators Dean and Kucinich support also have broader support from various segments of the electorate. There must be a candidate who speaks clearly and sincerely against the Patriot Act, against the lack of nation-building occuring in Afganistan and Iraq, against any future pre-emptive attacks. If a sufficient number of people support such candidates now, leading up to the primaries, odds are that candidate will be selected to run against our Fearless Leader.

Once November 2004 comes, however, I am prepared to hold my nose and vote for any yellow dog other than (ptui) Bush. Even (retch) Joe Lieberman.

By the way, just checked the ads currently at the top of the page. Both are both Christian in nature, but at least the ad for Sermon Links is gone. I checked out that site, and its theology is pretty scary.
