30. Here is why I like Dean
He is Pro Labor
He was awarded the "Paul Wellstone" award for service to the labor movement by the AFL-CIO.
http://www.aflcio.org/mediacenter/prsptm/pr01082003.cfm
He refuses to sign free-trade agreements without environmental and labor protections.

He is a doctor who understands the importance of healthcare. He has promised universal health insurance

He is not a Washington beltway insider. He is a governor with executive experience.

He is fiscally responsible and would repeal ALL of the chimp’s tax cuts so the deficit doesn’t get passed on to future generations.

I’m not so hot about his support for gay unions or his pro-gun stance but then you can’t have everything you want.

Most importantly Dean had a spine before the polls started going his way. Once Dean offered real LEADERSHIP and said, “The chimp has no clothes” the rest of the candidates followed him.
