I just read the Gridiron speech for the first time, and the post-speech q&a. Fantastic -- I don't know if I like it quite as much as his Dec 15 domestic policy speech, but it's up there among his very best. THIS is the candidate I loved so much in the fall. By the end of the campaign I was wondering where he'd gone.
I don't know if Dean could have won the election and in the end, that's the important thing to me. Also, I think Kerry is a damn fine nominee. But God Almighty, HD is the man. And this quote just captures it all:
"I really - I get this serenity every time election day comes along, because I know I've done everything I can, and it's in the hands of the boss, and the boss is the voters, and as long as we have that system I have a fair amount of confidence in the country."
Beautiful.
