August 04, 2003The Meetup PrimaryBy Byron LaMasters
The Meetup Primary contines, and Howard Dean is once again the runaway winner. He's now passed 70,000. Now, out of fairness, the Dean campaign embraced meetup months before any other campaign. Now, it looks as if the second place finisher John Kerry has had his campaign join the Meetup frenzy, as he has added a link to Meetup on his index page. I think that we all ought to be impressed with the Wesley Clark meetup sucess. He's not even running yet, but he's #3 in the meetup poll. Dennis Kucinich is running fourth in the Meetup Primary as the official Kucinich page also urges supporters to attend their meetup. None of the other campaigns are really pushing meetup, so its really no surprise that the other campaigns have little support in the meetup poll. So what effect will this have? Meetup proves that Dean has a grassroots network that will pay dividends next spring. Only Dick Gephardt, with his labor support will be able to compete with Dean with grassroots Democratic support. John Kerry understands that, and has belatedly promoted meetup amongst his supporters. The Kucinich campaign also will use meetup as an important resource, as they won't have much else. They'll rely on grassroots support. I'm very intrigued by the Draft Clark folks. If Clark runs, I could see things really shake up. We'll see.

I will be attending the Wesley Clark meet up in Richardson, TX tonight. I'm a hybrid Edwards/Graham supporter, but I've always liked the General. Posted by: pc at August 4, 2003 02:08 PMI was actually considering going myself... I support Dean, but I'd like to learn more about Clark... Posted by: ByronUT at August 4, 2003 02:39 PMWhat the results of the "Meetup Primary" prove is essentially who can make use of MeetUp.com most effectively. Had about 12 folks at the Clark meetup in Richardson. We had about 16 last month in Carrollton. There were new folks that showed up which was a good sign. Did a few activities. Clark will make some sort of announcement by Labor Day. I think his mind is made up. Tim, I'm young, but I'm not white, not gay, but I'd did grow up in the suburbs. Posted by: pc at August 5, 2003 01:56 PMI honestly would like to see Clark run... I hope that he decides to run, even if I'm with Dean. Posted by: ByronUT at August 6, 2003 03:15 AM
