Dean in the News
Parts one and two of an interview in North Dakota.
Time magazine's Karen Tumulty tries to get inside the mind of Howard Dean. George Lakoff gets a mention in this one, just in case you, my dear reader, are a Lakoff fan. This was my favorite quote:
...When people get to know him, Dean says, they will discover how hard it is to put a label on him. "Being a doctor has to do with who I am. First, facts matter, and ideology doesn't," Dean says. "I do not like ideologues. I never trusted ideologues. That's why I don't trust this Administration. When I was in the '60s, I didn't trust the left either. I was never part of any of those lefty organizations. Ideologues always sacrifice people before their supposed principles, so they never deliver for human beings what they claim their credo advises them to deliver." ...
Arianna Huffington talks about why Dean is so electable, and why he reminds her of Bobby Kennedy.
An article explores Dean's growing presence in Cape Cod.
On Newshour, Jim Lehrer talks to Al From of the DLC and former Clinton staffer Elaine Kamarck on why Dean won't go away.
The Washington Post talks about Dean's efforts to smooth the edges, and an Iowa columnist writes about the handwritten letter his household received from a Dean supporter in California.
News roundups for today on the official blog are here and here.
