Great NH newspaper endorsement of Howard Dean

[WI_DEM]

From the Keene (NH) Sentinel. Here is the last paragraph of that endorsement which says in a nutshell why I think Dean is the man:

"No one will accuse Howard Dean of being soft on anything--that's hardly his sytle. But in the long run, tough policies are more effective when they are also smart policies. We observed Dean through a long career as Governor of Vermont accomplishing a great deal by combining diligence with intelligence. Along the way, he usually won the respect not only of his allies, but of many of his adversaries as well. If he can bring that vitality and that sensitivity to the national stage, he and we might well get our country back."

2. That is a great written endorsement!

"Former governor Howard Dean has dominated the Democratic primary season. Although he is probably best-known for his stand against the Iraq war, his political agenda strikes us as the most traditional of all. He believes, responsibly, that the United States now has a commitment to put Iraq back on its feet, and he believes, optimistically but with reason, that, as an early opponent of the war, he could enlist the help of the rest of the democratic world in that effort.

Dean offers voters a wide range of well-thought-out policy initiatives, foreign and domestic, based on a dramatic — and one might say conservative — theme: I want my country back. That cry, coupled with Dean’s direct, energetic style, appeals to a lot of Democrats and independents, and has attracted a large number of people to his campaign who had previously been alienated from politics of any kind. Dean is particularly effective in his open refusal to entice voters with wild promises of expensive new government programs."
