Howard Dean: One thing that's notorious about my campaign is handlers can't handle me. I mean, I am who I am. And, I am going to be who I am. I think one of the reasons that uh, all this stuff is, you know, I'm the … I'm the outside-the-Beltway guy. I don't play by the same rules the people inside the Beltway. I … I put my heart on my sleeve. I let people know who I am. I want this country changed. This country is owned and controlled now, by the government and corporations. That's not good for ordinary people, and I don't think it's good for ordinary people, and I've stood up and said so. So, the standards that uh, the inside the Beltway rules, people clucking about, yeah, am I going to violate some of those standards? Sure, I will. But, remember I was governor for 12 years, re-elected five times. Delivered balanced budgets, health insurance, education reform, none of which anybody in this race has delivered, including the president. I think I'd be a good president.
