[UrbScotty]

[hellhathnofury]

[slinkerwink]

5. more great photos of the doc and judy!

[MidwestMomma]

6. Very nice

Good luck to Dean and all his supporters tomorrow....it's going to be an exciting day!

[hellhathnofury]

9. Thank you. It's nice to hear a kind word once in awhile.

Especially after a day of "I wouldn't voter for Howard Dean if it was a bet," gotta love old people who don't like to be bothered.:D

[Bronco69]

7. What a great looking couple!

Welcome to the White House President and Dr. Dean. :-)

[janx]

8. I saw them on CSPAN this afternoon and couldn't believe it.

Judy Steinberg Dean is one gorgeous human being, and such a change from some of the overly manufactured first ladies of the past!

She is darling.

Imagine: a first lady who is a physician!

[candy331]

10. I thought Judy and Howard looked

like the average American couple with no pretentiousness.


DEAN 04

[Upfront]

12. Wow.

She gave a very nice intro. for the Dr. Smart lady.

[janx]

13. That was what was so beautiful about it.

[mandyky]

15. Both of them seemed to be glowing

I can't wait until they're the First Couple.

[Walt Starr]

14. Prediction: Just over one year from now

we will see a similar picture of this couple coming out of Air Force One.

[Toucano]

16. That's is a GREAT picture.

Conveys a lot of positive energy!

[bearfartinthewoods]

17. what happened to 'you'll meet her in the white house'?flip flop

[mandyky]

18. Maybe Judy Dean suggested she go out

She seemed very sincere when she thanked Iowans for taking good care of her husband and being "kind, generous, and hospitable" to him.

[bearfartinthewoods]

22. maybe desperate times call for desperate measures

don't worry folks. dean is still the likely winner in iowa. but now he has a fight on his hands,

[MercutioATC]

19. She obviously thought it would be a good idea to go to Iowa.

Everything I've read paints her as a very independent woman. That aside, Gov. Dean has very publically stated that she does as she sees fit. I think it's great that she showed for this rally, but I also respect her wish to remain an M.D. and not just another celebrity wife.

The Deans have been gradually permitting access to their family...especialy Judith. Nothing strange here.

FWIW, I think she's great and I'd really like to see her show up at some of the other events.

31. here is the context to that "flip-flop"

thanks for the link, I hadn't read that article.

Sounds like the "you'll meet her in the whitehouse" remark was in response to all of the rude people who were insinuating that there is something wrong with her choice to stay at home to attend to her practice and their son instead of going out on the campaign trail.

Howard keeps a breakneck schedule on the campaign trail which is good for him, not so good for Dr. Judy who has other responsibilities which they have deemed just as important for their family.

"I do not intend to drag her around because I think I need her as a prop on the campaign trail," Dr. Dean said last week in Iowa. "If she wanted to do it, it'd be great, but she doesn't want to do it, and therefore if she does do it, it won't be great. I just think she should do what she needs to do for her own happiness and satisfaction."

snip

"I'm very happy doing what I do," she said. "He's happy doing what he does. I think that he's doing a great job, and I think that he thinks what I do is a great job."

Dr. Steinberg said she is simply too busy to get involved in the campaign. Along with her work, and a bimonthly book group, she has volunteer commitments at Burlington High School, where the Deans' son, Paul, 17, is a senior (their daughter, Anne, 19, is a sophomore at Yale).

Lacking cable television, Dr. Steinberg tries to get to headquarters to watch debates, though she skipped at least one to do laundry.

Show up on the campaign trail? She doesn't even keep track of the schedule. "He has so many events each day that I'd have to take an hour out of my day to follow it," said Dr. Steinberg, who grew up in the Long Island town of Roslyn, N.Y., the daughter of two doctors.

Dr. Dean has spent, on average, just four nights a month here in Burlington, for nearly a year. Though Dr. Steinberg and their children are Jewish, he campaigned through Yom Kippur, and recited the Rosh Hashanah blessings via cellphone. He calls home nightly unless he is on the West Coast and fears waking her, but rarely shares tales from the trail. "I don't talk politics," he said, "with people who aren't interested in politics."

Dr. Steinberg said: "I couldn't be more supportive, but I don't show my support by traveling with him. I'd rather be seeing patients."

Her patients joke, now, about chartering a bus to Washington for checkups, while the pundits muse about how the Secret Service would handle privacy concerns. Dr. Steinberg said she planned to keep practicing medicine if her husband is elected, but she had seen enough episodes of "The West Wing" to know that were she to become the real-life version of Stockard Channing's Dr. Bartlett — wife of the fictional President Bartlett — she would "certainly have to do some public events."

"I'd do the ones that Howard would think were most important," she said.





Today was very important being the day before the first caucus.
Guess what? She showed up. No worries.

27. there never was a "you'll meet her in the whitehouse" statement

the Dean's have always said that Dr. Judy will campaign on a limited basis.

please don't make stuff up.

[bearfartinthewoods]

33. "please don't make stuff up" ???????

" there never was a "you'll meet her in the whitehouse" statement"


errr cough cough

[Ramsey]

29. That is a very rude statement

A kinder person might recognize that quality in others.

[MODemocrat]

25. What a happy looking pair of Doctors

Good photo! Is this pic from today in Iowa? Sure hope we see more like this of them together.:bounce: :bounce: :hi: :thumbsup:

[democratreformed]

26. This really is great

I read in an article that she was very nervous when she spoke. I am so glad that she did, though. The article said she came when someone said it might help. The fact that she did says a lot to me.

[incapsulated]

28. That's a really nice pic :) eom

[Ramsey]

30. Great photos

Thanks to all who posted.

[KaraokeKarlton]

32. Just in case anyone missed this

37. I keep gooing to the CSpan website

And watching the Dean Campaign Rally Judy Dean addressed. It still makes me teary when Harkin intros Howard and Judy as the next president and first lady!!

[ozone_man]

38. Thanks for the great pic.

They leave me with a warm feeling. It really is time for a change. Two doctors in the house.
