How do you think Howard Dean will influence the party? I'm certainly hopeful that he'll manage to strengthen our situation, and use his experience with grassroots support to win us back at least a little bit in 2006.

any other thoughts?

For one thing, he'll be saying a lot of things that need to be said (that also happen to be true).

13. I have no idea ..
I was being facetious.

Thinking of that movie . "A River Runs Through It" . and

that given some thought, one might come to the conclusion that no era has been 'saved'.

We do survive.

Saved? Not yet.

3. I think he will force debate on important issues.
I also think he will take a populist approach to restore goverment to the people and not to just a small wealthy elite and corporations like the republican party has done.

5. That's what I think, too. He wants the federal government to work for
the citizens but within its means.

Looks like you have some fine answers here.

10. Dean isn't an apologist.
He speaks his mind - that's GOT to refreshing these days!

12. I think his 'blind quotes' comment is pretty telling.
i suspect the repubs are sweating behind all that cocky attitude.
