Howard Dean interview in The Progressive
Good read.

Entire interview at:
http://www.progressive.org/june04/intv0604.html

Excerpt:

Q: How scary is the prospect of another four years of George Bush?

Dean: It's devastating for the country: a half-trillion dollar deficit for every single year, God knows what additional military adventures are being planned that we're not being told about, the worst environmental President since the League of Conservation Voters has been evaluating them, half a million children have lost their health care. The legacy of George Bush will be far worse than any President in my lifetime, and we can't afford another four years of this.

Q: People often ask me, "Will Bush give up power if he loses?" Do you have any fear that he would not go quietly?

Dean: My biggest fear is that the election will be stolen again as it was in Florida by the elimination of large numbers of the African American community from the voter rolls by a private company contracting with the state. The election was clearly not won by George Bush in Florida, and then the Supreme Court put politics above loyalty to the country. So that's my greatest fear: not that George Bush won't go quietly according to the law, but that before the law gets enforced there will be a great deal of fiddling with it.

1. Howard Dean
Should embrace the college-kid, energetic, excited, a little crazy image - I bet he'd round up a whole bunch of youth support plus many middle agers who wouldn't vote in 2008...

3. I would say they tried to spin away from it
I think he carries a lot of weight with the current 18-22 year old crowd. I should know I am in that age bracket. If he catered to new voters he could do some serious damage to repukkks.
