(68,918 posts)The good doctor, Howard Dean.
My case is going to be short because bed is calling:
Ex-governor. I am a big fan of governors over senators for President. Governors have had to actually head up a government, be responsible in and of themselves, unfortunately pander to businesses (there have to be jobs), etc.
Howard is socially liberal and fiscally conservative which I align myself with.
The man does not easily bow down to those who think they are in power. He's tough.
I have never felt as hopeful and as believing that someone was listening as I did when Howard Dean said,"My name is Howard Dean, I am from the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party." I have not felt as encouraged about our future since the day he dropped out of the race. I doubt I ever will again.
We the People truly were Howard Dean's special interest, and it would have been amazing to see where we went.
