I don't have too many heros these days, but Howard Dean is at the top of the list. In 2003 he spoke up and said what many of us were thinking even though it was politically risky to do so. Dean has always been more interested in telling the truth than in being popular, but it's that high level of integrity and his willingness to speak his mind that makes him so lovable.
The 50 state strategy is exactly what the Democratic Party needs and why we won so big on Tuesday. This should absolutely be continued into 2008 if we want to keep on winning. Previously the Democratic Party has shrunk to a few races that could easily be overpowered and controlled by the opposition. Now, WE ARE EVERYWHERE.
Thank you Joe, for giving credit where it's due. As Gandhi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
