IMPORTANT.... From Howard Dean

[Alice11111]

132. I got to sit by him at a Dem dinner a few years ago. He

talked to me or with me just like we had been friends for years. I supposed that part of that is the way it feels when you have been on the same page, even as they turn, for years. There was not the occasional darting of the eyes around the room to see who else he had to connect with, that is the norm when talking to many politicians.

When he volunteered to head the DNC, he was pretty much ignored. I would like him as a Pres candidate or a DNC head. He is the real thing. Plus, as Jesse Jackson would say, you can FEEL him.

I want to add, even though he wasn't appointed to a seat in the Obama WH, he didn't go away with bitterness. He was still out there, working, and raising money for the party, that did not nominate him or give him a seat at the table.
