Howard Dean has the floor now. Up on the big stage, he is much less open and authentic than when he spoke with the Bloggers yesterday morning. Big surprize. Still, you can feel the warmth of his reception in the hall. Most of his supporters had never been involved in politics before, and it seems a lot of them made it to the Convention. They love the guy, and there’s no love like a first love. Best quote of the night, so far….
“Politics is too important to be left to politicians”
Dean has done a lot for the further left-liberal, progressive types in the party & outside. I think tonight he’s really towing the party line but he reminds us we need to keep the voice of progressive politics strong regardless of whether Kerry takes power or not.
Something to keep in mind.
