Here it is if anyone's interested:
http://www.crocuta.net/Dean/General_Dean_Stuff.htmANd here's MY favorite Dean speech (aside from his Sacramento speech):
June 23, 2003 speech: Governor Howard Dean Announces His Candidacy for President, Burlington, Vermont, June 23, 2003
http://www.crocuta.net/Dean/Transcript_of_Deans_Candidacy_Announcement_June23_2003.htmThe thing I'd caution people to remember about Dean -- he says what he means. If he talks about noble principles or ideals, it's not just campaign rhetoric, but rather part of the REAL (real as in tangible, achievable) vision he has for America.
So, for example, when he talked about giving power back to The People, by God that's precisely what he meant AND if you were following his campaign, you would see innumerable instances where he demonstrated that in his daily actions --- it was NOT empty or pretty rhetoric for him. Never.
I said so many times during the primaries, til I was blue in the face, that if people weren't getting their information about Dean from Dean himself, diretly -- from the blog, from his appearances, from his speeches, etc. -- there was not a very good chance that they could fully understand him, what he stood for, who he was. I saw so many people work so hard to undermine him here -- based on lies and mischaracterizations. Some of them knew very well what they were doing. Some of them were here specifically for the purpose.
Can we really complain about the Repugs undermining our nominee with lies and mischaracterizations when we do that to our own candidates? Not really, not much. This kind of politics has to stop. Or the party deserve to die.
