Dean, Dean, Dean
I heard a pundit say that although Kerry's getting nominated this year, it's been Dean's convention. He has been everywhere it seems, speaking from the podium and at a myriad of progressive gatherings, visiting state delegations and being interviewed by anyone who counts, or think they do.
Now some Dean supporters have put together an online Letter from America to Howard Dean that you can sign, thanking him for all he's done to invigorate Dem politics this year. Here's the link:

There's also a Thank You Howard bat up at the main DFA site.
Did everyone see Howard get a nice long standing ovation last night before his speech at the convention? If not, you can view video of it here:

along with the rest of yesterday's speakers.
Tonight's DNC program includes Jesse Jackson, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton, Sen. Bob Graham, Gov. Ed Rendell (Pa.), Gov. Bill Richardson, Gov. Jennifer Granholm (Mich.), and Retired General John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Then John Edwards' daughter Cate and wife Elizabeth introduce the VP candidate, followed by the presidential nomination roll call.
You can get text or video versions of most convention speeches at this Washington Post page:

It was so great to see such a natural wonderful speaker. Such a pretty man too. I do believe we were listening to and looking at a future president of the united states. Maybe he will be the one to help us through the revolution times?

Since I am still confused about yahoo I'll post my opinions here. Dean's speech was flat because the powers that be flattened it! The crowd still loved him, even though they weren't supplied with signs. The hand made signs said it all! My choice of mission statements is #3. It takes us beyond the election.

Barack Obama 2012
That's my slogan and I'm sticking to it.
Imagine an Obama administration: Stephanie Herseth as VP, Ilana Wexler as Chief of Staff, Dr. Vanessa Kerry as Surgeon General, and Congressman Nelson at HHS, overseeing our universal healthcare.
And Michael Moore at State. After all, we'll be loved and respected around the world by then, and will be ready for some entertainment.
