Howard Dean on Ari right now applying the lesson learned from Kimmel to the possible govt shutdown

[senseandsensibility]

Everyone on the show including Ari seems to agree that it was the grassroots and public pressure that got Kimmel back on the air. It was a very positive opening. Howard Dean took it a step further and said the Dem leadership should apply this lesson to the fight with Rs over funding the govt.

He said this time the Dems should refuse to support any budget unless they get concessions. If you fight back it works. I agree!

1. We need him at the DNC.

2. We had a Howard Dean bumper sticker on our car when he was running for pres

and when we got out of the car a guy came up to us and asked us where we got the bumper sticker. Thinking he was a supporter too, we tried to steer him to the local Dem headquarters, or wherever we got ours. Long story short, the guy had no idea who Howard Dean was and just wanted the bumper sticker because his own name was Howard Dean.

3. I saw his opening speech in Houston back in the day.

I also rode buses funded by Howard Dean
to protest here in Austin, at the capitol,
against Tom Delay's redistricting bill.

I have also always favored Dean's
50-state strategy.

Dems, get a spine, and listen to Dean!

4. 50 state strategy would have helped us a lot over the years

but it's not too late! So much is possible with the right leadership.
