Howard Dean: "This is a great democracy, despite the right-wing's best efforts to undermine it."

[Hissyspit]

Speaking with Chris Matthews just now on Hardball. Hee, hee. He got some digs in on McCain and Romney, too.

[malaise]

1. Great interview

He is so sharp.

[aquart]

2. Pity we don't have a left wing for balance.

[allthingsimportant]

5. it was fine

Mathews did a good job with the interview. he eve said his son was campaigning for Dean in NH 4 years ago and how proud that made him.

[ixion]

3. I would argue that at this point we are no longer a democracy

and until the bogus legislation such as the unPATIROTic Act and Military Commisions Act and Protect America Act are history, I will maintain that assertion.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

4. Sigh.

Howard.
