I admire Howard Dean.
I wish he had a bigger role in the Democratic Party.

Amazing that he got defeated by the a classic RW media maneuver....
"The Scream" was played over and over without context and within a couple of weeks his candidacy was down the drain. Nothing was said about his stand on the issues. Just those 4 seconds of him screaming. Pitiful.

7. Doesn't he just have to move to Mass for a few months? Mass/Vermont.
It's all New England.

4. I agree to an extent, but I think he's more effective not having any loyalties
to anyone right now.

5. I think his loyalties are pretty clear
He speaks to real Progressives. Dean, Kucinich and Bernie Sanders are the only ones with the courage to speak the real truth without pandering.

10. I agree. And, I'm glad he doesn't have to tone down is message
to appease anyone.
