Dr. Steinberg, medicine woman

[dajabr]

SHELBURNE, VT -- This day is brought to you by the Chamber of Commerce. Leaf peeping is in full swing, and the mountains hold more tourists than dairy farmers.

Just off a main road flanked by Halloween scarecrows, there is a former creamery that houses the mix-and-match office of a woman known as Dr. Judith Steinberg to her patients, and Judith Dean to her neighbors and, maybe soon, to the country.

The wife of Howard Dean, former governor and candidate for president, is here taking care of patients while her husband is on the road preparing for another debate. A dark-haired woman, dressed in a simple skirt and sweater, she is at first and second glance the least packaged of candidates' wives. And maybe the least political.

1. great article, thanks

I think it is cool how they have separated their public and private lives. And that Dean does his own laundry - as I do.

3. Great article!

"What if 2004 is the year they gave a campaign and the wife didn't run? Could we have a first lady who left the White House in the morning to take care of patients? Is that mere fantasy? Well, not much more so than finding a doctor who makes house calls."

Dr Judith sounds like a real Sweetie!
