Why doesn't Howard Dean have his own show?

[quaoar]

Saw him tonight on McEnroe's show on MSNBC. Mac is a good guy but he ain't much of a talk-show host.

Dean, on the other hand, is great. Why doesn't he have his own cable show or perhaps a show on Air America?

Would that be great or what?

3. He's hosting CNBC's

Topic A w/ Tina Brown (subbing for her) for a week: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2173246

Some say it's a test to see how he does as a host.

I'd personally rather have him in politics, but anyway I can get him is fine. :)

4. He was offered one as a commentator but turned it down.

Then he was offered a talk show, but later turned it down.

6. I agree

I think Dean comes across best when speaking. He is so great at speaking off the cuff and thinking on his feet.

I think Howard Dean could yet play the key role in this election, because he is able to get down in the mud and call it like it is. Calling the terror alerts politically motivated is something Kerry can't afford right now, but Dean can. And cameras show up whenever Dean has something to say.

I think that Dean, as someone has suggested here, should pre-emt the potential Osama capture by saying that the LEAST GWB could do before leaving office is catch OBL. I mean, it's been three years!

It would be a great way to defuse that particular October suprise, and it's true to boot. Why the hell hasn't he gotten Osama? Can't you at least do that before you head back to Crawford you jackass?!?

7. God, what a brilliant idea. . .

he could become a liberal O'Reilly-and he's exactly what we need to get our message out there.

8. Howard needs to run for Congress

It's as simple as that. He would also make a great DNC Chairman.
