"Simon Rosenberg is introducing Howard Dean with what he sees are the three most important things Dean has introduced to politics: getting past tarmac hits and tv spots to build a grassroots national campaign, the 50 State Strategy, and teaching people not to be satisfied.

The Bush impersonator beforehand was great -- Rosenberg gets to tell his children he spoke between Bush and Dean.

Our challenge and opportunity: new media landscape, new agenda, new demographics. The Democratic Party built the New Deal on this, we can do it again. We need to united the entire progressive movement.

Dean gets an extended standing ovation. "What Simon said (ha ha) this is not an individual effort; this is a collective effort."

And another diary blogging the speech, with most of the transcript:

When I lost the primary in 2004, a lot of young people were disappointed. The advantage of being 50 is that you cdan look backward as well as forward; and I understood that in order to take back America for American values, it’s a daily fight. That’s what the right wing did. They did it for 30 years.

I love the Democratic Party. But this isn’t about the Democratic Party; it’s about the United States of America. And the Democratic Party is merely a vehicle.

But this is a tough fight. Those guys win elections by scapegoating. We won’t do that, because it’s not in the interests of America. And that’s the difference between us: they will put their interests before the interests of the United States of America, and we will not do that. HUGE APPLAUSE

This is the new town meeting—except this is the town meeting where everyone gets to speak, not just the people that the President wants to let in. And we have an entire department at the DNC who sits there reading you and what you have to say. This is how to take back America—working to support the people who work everyday to take back this country: by encouraging community participation—and by throwing out the trolls on your blogs who aren’t helping.

This is an important statement:

"The people in this room have the responsibility for leading this revolution. But the perspective I want to leave you with is this: there will be things within the tent that we disagree with. We’re not a healthy movement if we don’t have those disagreement. But healthy movements managed to maintain their effectiveness in spite of disagreements; the unhealthy ones succumbed to personal disagreements and backbiting."

2. It was scheduled for 8 this morning.

I hear it was hard to access. Me...I was still asleep. I don't get up that early to hear anyone.

The bloggers are going to be active getting stuff up. I hear Link TV will have some things.

I also think AAR will probably have them playing later for those who subscribed. I got that impression.

3. There is live feed through Air America Radio website -

Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention -> :applause:

4. I missed the Pacific time...

Oh, well, I still wasn't awake enough to bother...will catch it somewhere later.

I have not paid attention to the times they said...just watched what was on and parts of the C-Span choices.

Lazy today, kind of tired of politics, tired of a new hurricane season starting, weather in the Caribbean already.
