Ex-Vermont Governor Howard Dean's staunch anti war position has earned him an early boost in Holywood fundraising in the form of an endorsement of director/actor Rob Reiner. (Sleepless in Seattle, All in the Family)

Reiner, who will be Former Governor Dean's 2004 California Presidential Democratic Primary Party co-chair said 'Dean is the only major Democratic candidate speaking out against going to war without the support of the United Nations.'

'My urgency to support him right now is to give him as big a forum as possible so that his vews can be heard.'

'It is a very dangerous time right now,' Reiner's nod will be announced today in an appearance with Dean at the Los Angeles Childrens International Institute.

As a famous philosopher once said: " I think, therefore....
I'm not Rob Reiner."

[alloysteel]

Archie Bunker was pretty much right on the money about the Meathead....

We have to quit calling these creeps ANTI WAR
Everybody is anti war
They are anti American/Bush Pro Saddam

[votelife]

But, Dean's Civil Union laws will NOT play well in the Heartland. Sure the media and liberals like it, but this issue will hurt in the general.

Democrats hate Lieberman because they are anti-Semitic. They want jews in the party for the money only.

[mabelkitty]

Well, If I lived in Michigan and my Governor was a Canadian, I'd be shell-shocked too.

Don't worry, the rest of America won't let Bush down.

[Mo1]

I heard on some show.. I can't remember which one .. but that Martin Sheen was backing Dean also

[Dan from Michigan]

At least we kept the house, senate, and took the other statewide offices(AG and Sec of State). so Jenny can't get anything done.

[George W. Bush]

Watch Howard Dean. This war may make him the frontrunner with Dim party activists.

[George W. Bush]

But, Dean's Civil Union laws will NOT play well in the Heartland.

Yeah, but his friendliness to gun ownership will play to Reagan Democrats who are sick of their party on the issue of firearms. The two issues might cancel each other in Dim primaries. And I'm not sure that the civil union issue will hurt him much even in the Bible Belt primaries as the only Dims voting in those primaries are already pretty radical since they are in overwhelmingly conservative states. After all, Dean isn't going to get the electoral votes of Wyoming or other Republican strongholds anyway. Currently, it's about winning primaries, not a general election.

I think Dean visited the set of the West Wing to get Sheens endorsement.

I've been thinking the same thing for a couple of weeks now.

I wish we could add Sean Penn, Susie Sarandon and Danny Glover to the 'go away' list as well.

Good point, that is what they are.
