7. Did you see his snipe at Bush on Iraq?

Q: You were very forceful in your criticism of the invasion of Iraq during your campaign. And your message seemed to resonate strongly with Democrats. Yet, there's very little difference between John Kerry and George Bush ...

A:That's mostly because George Bush has moved to the left on Iraq, since things haven't been going well. The President is incapable of doing anything right in Iraq at this point. He got us there under false pretenses, and it's hardly likely we will have a successful outcome. My guess is he'll try to pull the troops out, and Iraq will probably go up in flames. And he will have created a national security problem for the U.S. where none existed before.

8. Damn.

Every time I hear something Dean says or read one of his pieces I'm despondent that he won't have a shot at the WH. The man speaks the truth. It would be very nice to have a pragmatic, smart, secular president right about now. It really would be nice.

He almost(but not quite) makes me willing to vote for Kerry.

6. Yeah, I loved the way he's able to sidestep traps to criticize Kerry

by simply saying what he thinks and feels.

It's good technique, honesty. I wish more public figures would try it.

5. Kick because this is just as much about Kerry as Dean.

I know if it has Dean in the subject, it gets passed by. The title is "People are ready for Kerry".

It is an insightful video interview, and the transcipt covers more of it.
