Howard Dean in 2004

steal this button!Albany Dan sent me a fea­ture arti­cle on Howard Dean in Salon, and it was an enjoy­able read. I like his candor, hon­esty, and will­ing­ness to stand up to Bush, and these luke-​warm Dems.

Sen. Kerry him­self said that he’d like to fash­ion his cam­paign along the lines of John McCain, yet his lan­guage is pep­pered with “bend-me-over” Daschle get-​along talk like this.

Now, I like John Kerry just fine — and Edwards, Lieber­man, and the other Sen­a­tors run­ning are also fine people. But, to pick a person to lead this party at a time when we’re again search­ing for our souls — well, I’ll go with the Gov­er­nor Doc.

When I had the oppor­tu­nity to work on the 2000 cam­paign, as Pres­i­dent of my col­lege chap­ter, I was strug­gling to settle on the sup­port of Al Gore. I mean, Bill Bradley was from the north­east, and he was such a cool cat. This elec­tion, I have no desire to go with another safe bet. Dean’s my guy. He signed gay civil unions into law, he sup­ports a multi-​lateral for­eign policy, and he says what he means. What more could the Democ­rats need at this moment? And sup­pos­edly, he’s been faith­ful to his wife.

    Emilie, are you actu­ally from Ver­mont, or like your friend Howard Dean from New York. I am a true Ver­mon­ter who has lived in Ver­mont all my life and have roots going back through the his­tory of Ver­mont. Gov­er­nor Dean has mis­rep­re­sented him­self on many issues. i.e. ,bal­anced budget ,etc. I wish he would not asso­ciate him­self with this state and its people. He would, in short, make an atro­cious pres­i­dent. I resent the fact that he calls him­self a Ver­mon­ter when that is far from the truth.

    I like the “Dr. President” idea. Maybe if he chooses Graham as his run­ning mate, he will win the south to easily LICK BUSH IN 2004!

    I don’t care what you think of Howard Dean ,but, please don’t dis­grace the rep­u­ta­tion of true Ver­mon­ters by call­ing him a Vermonter.
