Dean documentary from Vermon Public Radio

It's an hour long!

I'm Steve Delaney. In the next hour, we explore the record Howard Dean
has left in Vermont, as physician, lawmaker and governor. "Howard Dean,
the Vermont Years," continues right after the news.

One of the recurring legends of American politics is about the candidate
who comes from nowhere to grab the brass ring, to the astonishment of
political experts. Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman are the classic
examples of men who rose from obscurity to the presidency. More recently
Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton rocketed off the improbable launch pads of
small and rural states, to win it all.

How did Howard Dean move to the front of the pack in a Democratic Party
nomination process initially dominated by better known names from bigger
places?

He started by making a mark in Vermont. Vermont also made a mark on him,
as his thinking evolved over twenty years in office, more than half of
them as governor. In 1991, when Richard Snelling had a fatal heart
attack, everything changed for Lieutenant Governor Dean.
