Who is Howard Dean and why such an interest in this virtually unknown former physician turned governor of the tiny state of Vermont?

Regardless of whether Dean gets the nomination or not, the electoral process of how campaigns organize and raise funds has embarked on an unfamiliar path. This path may lead to a rickety road sign saying “Hasta la vista, Mr. President.”
