Howard Dean wows crowd, again, in Chicago, just as he always did.
He spoke at a "Bridge the Gap" health care rally here in Lincoln Park along with Jan Schakowski and Jessie Jackson Sr. on universal health care. It was a very stood rally but Howard stole the show exhibiting the same old magic he always has. The large crowd jumped to their feet when he was introduced and cheered and hollered for several minutes. We really loved it when he repeated favorite lines from old speeches ("they even have universal health care in Cost Rica...etc.")
Each one is a great speaker in their own right. Jan has quiet a way with a story. She is very funny. Howard of course is my candidate and Jesse had me in tears talking about poor white women, who are the largest group of poor people BTW (which was his point), cleaning hotels they can't afford to stay in. Rev Jackson is a truely spiritual man and I hate the right wing for trying to destroy him.
I have seen Howard speak three times and got to shake his hand twice. Every time I have seen him I have been moved to the core of my being. If only he could transfer some of his excitement to Kerry. Kerry is a fine speaker when he has an enthusiastic audience but he does not have the fire of Dean. Kerry needs to take speaking advice from Dean and Mario Cuomo.
