Dean’s campaign has a link to a Quicktime version of Dean’s interview with Rose. As with all Charlie Rose interviews it was interesting and dealt with issues in far more detail than most venues.
What continues to impress me about Dean is that he knows why he is running and clearly explains it. Beyond that he clearly knows who he is which is a fiscal moderate and social liberal. After spending the early 1990s beating my head on the wall talking to Iowa political activists about the importance of fiscal discipline, I couldn’t think of a better standard bearer.
Is that an endorsement–well pretty damn close. No candidate is perfect, but after my previous disasters of Kerrey and Bradley, I’m finally find a fighter who isn’t going to sit back for the Gore/Clinton hardball that John Kerry seems to be adopting.
