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:

Anyone else wild about Barack Obama after last night's speech? Wow!
