Via WaPo: washingtonpost.com: Howard Dean: He Still Has The Power
Sharpton greets his former campaign homey with a big hug. Sharpton mimics the state-by-state rant that preceded Dean’s infamous scream — “We’re going to South Carolina, Washington . . .” Sharpton yells. And Dean waxes nostalgic about the “fun” he and Sharpton had on the campaign trail. He praises Sharpton for his convictions and his plain-spoken eloquence during the campaign.“Al sure did energize the Democratic Convention when he went off-script,” Dean says, referring to Sharpton’s flouting of his party-sanctioned remarks and time limit in Boston last summer.
This is an easy applause line for a Sharpton audience, but also distills why so many wonder if Dean is a good fit for such a party-line job. What if Dean were chairman when Sharpton went off-script? “You deal with that when you deal with that,” he says.
Give Al credit: he brings energy to a room…
Gee, is Dean campaiging for this job, or what?
And when did “campaign homey” get inserted into the Post’s style sheet?
