After Turano broke his left ankle only 3:45 into the second game of the season at Vermont on Nov. 7, he was driven back to Boston immediately after the game for X-rays, and underwent surgery a week later...
...copied them: blogs, house parties and Meetups, as well as a Web tool called Get Local that allows people to set up campaign events in their communities. All of that helped give Democrats from all over the country the power to elevate from obscurity the former Governor of tiny Vermont. Political operatives from everywhere traveled to Burlington, Vt., to hear the good news from the frumpy, loquacious Trippi himself...
...after finishing 12 points behind John Kerry in New Hampshire, Dean went home to Vermont in part to rest and have time to attend his son Paul's hockey match that night.

I just think that the Democrats' sudden panic about Dean's electability is overblown and that the urge to find someone more superficially "presidential" is a trap. It won't help the Democrats in November (I don't know any Democrats who are actually excited about Kerry), and it will deny all of us a real debate about the future...
