Article on Dean from New Yorker

Pretty lengthy, but interesting. From everything I read it seems like Dean is his own man, who was never and isn't partisan, and isn't ideological is the sense that others are. His ideology is do what you think is best and what will work above what is the conventional Democrat/Republican-liberal/conservative thing to do, which is why he gets attacked from both sides. This is one of the reasons I support him, because I think that will resonate.

1. Yes, he does not like labels. He is open-minded and thoughtful.

That is why we support him so greatly.

I have never had set views on things. They have evolved as I grew older. That is how it should be.

2. IMHO not worth an own post: Dean Article in the "Der Spiegel"

If you want to read the foreign press' position:

At the start of this election year incumbent George W. Bush is clearly the front-runner in the campaign for the White House. But an outsider from Vermont, former governor Howard Dean has reinvigorated the Democrats and is setting out to rout his competitors.

Not much more than a year ago, way up in beautiful Vermont, a man largely unknown on the national scene decided to become the next president of the United States. He rented an office for a staff of seven; they had all of 157,000 dollars in the bank. He then traveled across the country to spread his message: First of all, he said, the war in Iraq was wrong and unjust, and secondly, George W. Bush was a disaster for the country anyway.

3. good article....I loved this part too...it made me laugh...

The current incarnation of the Web site has links to dozens of blogs, dozens more “unofficial Dean sites” (Doctors for Dean, Dykes for Dean, Foodies for Dean, Mormons for Dean, Unemployed for Dean), and more than five hundred regional sites.
