Once again, to reflect on my exchange with Howard Dean.

[coloradodem2005]

In October, before the election, I was doing visibility for the Salazar campaign at a Democracy for America rally where he spoke. After the speech when he was talking to people I walked up and shook his hand.

Me:I just wanted to Let you know that you are one of two people that inspired me to get involved.

Howard Dean: Well, thanks. I appreciate that.

Me: Bush was the other one.

At which point Dr. Dean and everyone standing there burst out laughing.

I also shook his hand the previous year at a huge rally in Boulder. But since Dean is now head of the DNC, I felt like reflecting on that.
