Dean? Good!

I am pleased with the election of Howard Dean to chair the Democratic Party. He is learned, direct, interesting -- even captivating -- and appeals to young people's desire for no bullshit leadership. His gaffes are nothing compared to the idiotic malaprops and illogical statements of our sitting U.S. president, so don't even try to replay his "scream," a media moment that played itself out a week after it actually happened.

I am pleased that Howard Dean's contribution to the growth of post cold war liberalism will be more than just a sugar burst to the 2004 campaign. He is pugnacious, driven and conscientious. He wakened Democrats two years ago and he will do so again.
