Howard Dean book-signing draws hundreds

By Jim Brunner
Seattle Times staff reporter

It's been months since his presidential bid flamed out, but Howard Dean still occupies a warm and glowing place in the hearts of many Seattle Democrats.

At a University District book signing yesterday, a woman burst into tears at the very sight of him.

And the story of his candidacy was recounted in reverent terms at a morning news conference as an inspiration for liberal Democrats to get organized and run for office at every level of government.

The former Vermont governor was in town to promote his new book, "You Have the Power," a brief memoir of his presidential campaign that is part angry screed against the media, weak-kneed Democrats and right-wing Republicans, and part exhortation to his supporters to stay involved in politics.

Dean yesterday also lent his halo to a political-action committee's news conference endorsing 51 Democratic candidates for the state Legislature. And he appeared at a fund-raiser with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Washington's congressional Democrats.

3. I think he's stick around too.

He's the future (I hope) of the Democratic Party, not the DLC.

2. Howard Dean is supposedly going to be on Sirius Left tomorrow

Alex Bennett mentioned it this morning on his show. He'll have Dean on as a guest at 9 AM or so.

I'll keep you all posted. There's a listen link on the DU latest page.

4. Is it going to be somewhere else? I don't think I can get that?

I listen to AAR via the net 'cause it's not on any stations here, and I don't have satellite radio.
