Ed Schultz will have Howard Dean and Col. Wilkerson on his show today

[Catrina]

I don't know what time ~ but he's talking about alternative energy now.

Dean is on right now!

Ed says he sounds just like his brother, Jim. Ed says Dean's brother is a great guy with his 'heart in the right place'.

He's asking Dean about his 50 State program ~ Dean says 'if we're going to govern, we'll govern all 50 states.'

Ed asks if the party is now funding people even at the local level.

9. Yes, Dean said he thinks Dems have a good chance in at least

five states.

Ed is talking a lot about alternative energy ~ two callers so far referring to his opening monologue on the subject.

He's talking about some guy who's investing in alternative energy right now ~

I like the way he lets the callers talk and he gave Dean an uninterrupted chance to answer all the questions he asked. It was a very good interview, imo. Wish the MSM would treat Dean as well as Ed just did.

7. Talking about the Immigration Bill ~ Dean says Repub bill will

create indentured servants and the Dems are going to fight it.

Now covering Rumsfeld ~

Ed asks about Dems plan for Iraq ~ Dean says 'we ought not to cut and run, but get the troops out of harm's way'. Sounds like Murtha plan.

Yes, he just said that Murtha did not say to 'withdraw' ~

Ed asking about Iran ~ 'look at world markets'

Dean: 'Iran won't have the bomb for over 8 years'

Ed: Are you in favor of sanctions?'

Dean: Yes ~ but no nuclear bombs. I hope that wasn't true, don't know where it came from'.
