He was pretty outspoken today with Curry, but she got a bit snippy once. I hear she was that way with Kucinich also, but I missed the interview. Why are the talking heads just fine with being annoying with our Democrats.
She got huffy with him when she asked if too many were on stage, he joked that she should ask the Republicans (he was smiling and was going to say they had 11)....she said "I am asking you." Then she rattled paper while he answered. She called him "Mr. Dean" very pointedly.

Said the people were being let back into the process. Blitzer asked him about the candidates being uncomfortable. He said that they had to answer the tough questions.

BLITZER: But you know that a lot of Democrats say that they elected this Democratic majority in the House and the Senate, the primary mission was to get out of Iraq. It's now approaching almost a year the Democrats have been in the majority. The U.S. is still in Iraq. How worried are you as chairman of the party that your base, the Democratic base, is going to be angry at fellow democrats because the strategy in Iraq, the situation in Iraq continues full speed ahead?
DEAN: Well, first of all, where we do have control, which is in the House, we've been able to pass two bills to get us out of Iraq. We don't control the Senate yet. We have a small majority -- in fact now we don't have one because Senator Johnson is out and Senator Lieberman is voting with the Republicans on the Iraq question. So we start with 49 votes. It's our job first to try to get out of Iraq. And if we can't do that, we ought to make sure everyone understands it's the Republicans obstructing the will of the American people and the president's veto that is keeping us in Iraq. It's not the Democrats in the Senate, it's the Republicans in the senate and the president of the United States that is obstructing the will of the American people to get us out.http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0707/23/sitroom.02.htmlAlso I saw this You Tube interview from the spin room afterwards with someone named David. About a minute and a half. Dean sounded very proud of our candidates, and so was I. We have a good bunch.
