Quite frankly, it looks like he did a good job under nasty fire from Wallace. I can not believe Mike Wallace's kid is so swarmy. I did not see it, but it shows Dean doing pretty well.

SNIP.." what we have in common is what we ought to look at. This president ran as a uniter, not a divider, and that was a complete falsehood. What he has done is use words like "quota" to send race-coded words to folks, talking about scaring them into thinking somebody from a minority community is going to take their jobs. On and on it goes.

What about what we have in common? What we have in common is we need better education for everybody. We need health care, health insurance for everybody. Every industrialized country in the world has health insurance except for us. We don't have to have a complicated government-run system. But we ought to have it, like we do, for the most part, in Vermont, at least for all our kids.

So why can't we talk about jobs, health care and education, which is what we all have in common, instead of allowing the Republicans to consistently divide us by talking about guns, God, gays, abortion and all this controversial social stuff that we're not going to come to an agreement on?...."

4. Dean seems

to know that he has to keep the points up front, say them often so that people will not forget and grab the attention of ones who take a brief moment from life's many struggles to pay atention briefly. Keep at it Dean! Hammer the message!

2. Thanks for the link. Sounds like he did great to me. n/t

3. Fox viewers saw that?

The Repukes are in trouble now!

[madfloridian]

5. Even if they don't like it, he did plant the seeds. That is good.

He just needs to keep calling attention to them like this.

No one else was willing to take the chance, or had too much to lose. He is taking chances by coming right out with the truth, and not afraid if it backfires.

6. there's a replay at 5PM EST

I'll be watching!

7. They rerun this at 5pm

on the Fox News Channel.

8. He did best on the 'values' question

Those are great points that need making to the victims of Faux news.

9. Steady-

Dean has fortitude. My confidence grows each time I get news of him. He was a real low key guy as governor. Different circumstances!

[slinkerwink]

10. so the transformation is already on way from his being governor

to being President. ;-)

11. Personally

My favorite part is where he reads the Bush sr. quotes about why occupying Iraq would be such a bad idea to back up his argument.

:evilgrin:

[madfloridian]

12. That was awesome.

On the TV, he kept looking up as he was reading it, as in "are you listening, Fox Viewers?"

[babzilla]

13. that was great

I can only hope that Bar was watching.

Can you imagine how her beautiful mind would react to seeing Dean use 41's quotes against 43?

Please let her have seen it, oh please let her have seen it.


Scowcroft tried to tell him I was right Bar, but the lil' bastard wouldn't listen.

15. I liked the "values" part of the interview

Chris Wallace implied that Dean is afraid to talk about values, and Dean said:

...I think that's where this administration falls short on values. They don't seem to care about ordinary people. They'll do everything for corporations. They give $26,000 in tax cuts to the top 1 percent. The rest of the people get $304 and a big property-tax increase, big health-insurance increases and big college-tuition increases.

That's where I think that the battle about values is in this country and in this election.
