SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 2 12:25:28 "I'M LOOKING AROUND THE FIELD, HEARD WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD TO SAY - AND YOU'RE THE ONLY - I DON'T CARE IF IT GOES ON TAPE OR NOT - YOU'RE THE ONLY GUY WHO'S GOT THE BALLS ENOUGH TO STAND UP AND CALL IT AS YOU SEE IT." "THANKS." "FIRST TIME I'VE EVER MET YOU - IT WON'T BE THE LAST. TRACK: BLUNT TALK IS COMMON WHEN PEOPLE MEET HOWARD DEAN. AFTER ALL, IT'S HOW HE TALKS. BITE: TAPE 4 17:10:50 I THINK THE OTHER GUYS RUNNING FOR THIS OFFICE IN MY PARTY ARE MAKING A MISTAKE. THEY VOTE FOR NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, THEY SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT'S UNILATERAL ATTACK ON IRAQ, THEY SUPPORT TAX CUTS - MAYBE NOT AS BIG AS THE PRESIDENT'S BUT ALMOST AS BIG, IT'S LIKE IT'S ALMOST AS IF THEY'RE SAYING IF I'M A LITTLE LIKE GEORGE BUSH, THEN MAYBE PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR ME. B.S. GEORGE BUSH IS TAKING THIS COUNTRY IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 3 14:04:09 WHY HAVE YOU DECIDED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT? THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP ON POLITICS, AND WE'VE GOT A PRESIDENT WHO'S GOT THE BUDGET COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. WE'VE LOST 2.7 MILLION JOBS. I WANT A COUNTRY WHERE WE'RE A COMMUNITY AGAIN -= WE'RE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH OTHER AND TO EACH OTHER - AND I WANT A COUNTRY WHERE POLITICIANS STAND UP AND SAY WHAT THEY BELIEVE AGAIN - GIVE PEOPLE A CHOICE. TRACK: DEAN HAS CHANGED CAREERS BEFORE. AFTER EARNING A POLITICAL SCIENCE DEGREE AT YALE, HE BECAME A WALL STREET INVESTMENT BANKER LIKE HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER - BUT SOON DISCOVERED IT WASN'T FOR HIM. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 1 11:44:20 I'M A COUNTRY PERSON NOT A CITY PERSON AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD ONE LIFE AT A TIME SO I WENT INTO MEDICINE. TRACK: AFTER GRADUATION, DEAN ESTABLISHED A MEDICAL PRACTICE IN VERMONTWITH HIS WIFE JUDITH. HE LATER BECAME INVOLVED IN STATE POLITICS AND EVENTUALLY BECAME LT. GOVERNOR. STILL, POLITICS WAS A PART-TIME JOB UNTIL THE DAY HE BECAME GOVERNOR. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 1 11:45:20 IT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT DAY. THE PHONE RANG IN THE OFFICE AROUND 8 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING A PHYSICAL. WELL WHEN THE GOVERNORS OFFICE CALLS, YOU TAKE THE CALL. AND A STAFFER GOT ON AND SAID I'M TERRIBLY SORRY TO INFORM YOU, THE GOVERNORS PASSED AWAY. FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE AND THEN OF COURSE I REALIZE INSTANTLY FROM THE TONE OF THIS VOICE THAT IT WAS NOT A JOKE AND AH I WAS THE GOVERNOR AND I HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER A GOVERNMENT AND MARSHALL THE FORCES OF THE STATE AND MOSTLY I HAD TO INSTILL CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE. TRACK: DEAN'S FIRST BATTLE WAS OVER HIS INSISTENCE ON BALANCING THE BUDGET, WHICH VERMONT LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 1 11:46:54 WELL I GOT IN A BIG FIGHT WITH LIBERAL DEMOCRATS EARLY ON OVER SPENDING BUT THEN OF COURSE THEY ALL RALLIED AROUND ME WHEN WE PUT IN HEALTH CARE FOR EVERY CHILD. AND DAYCARE SUBSIDIES UP TO $40,000 A YEAR AND OF COURSE FINALLY THE CIVIL UNIONS BILL WHICH GAVE GAY AND LESBIAN PEOPLE THE SAME RIGHTS AS EVERYBODY ELSE. SOUNDUP: VPT CIVIL UNION TAPE 00:39:57 IT IS A CASE OF MORALITY OR LACK THEREOF, IT'S AS PLAIN AND SIMPLE AS THAT. SOUNDUP: VPT CIVIL UNION TAPE 41:01 MY HOPE IS THAT MY STUDENTS, WHEN THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED, WILL BE ABLE TO MARRY WHOEVER THEY LOVE, REGARDLESS OF GENDER. BITE: VPT CIVIL UNION TAPE 00:44:09 THERE ARE THOSE WHO FEAR HOMOSEXUALS WHO WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE PROGRESS WITH, AND TO THOSE I SAY THERE IS NO REASON TO FEAR - BUT THE FEAR IS DEEP-SEATED AND I DON'T THINK ANY WORDS I SAY WILL CHANGE THAT. BUT THERE ARE MANY FAIR-MINDED VERMONTERS WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, BUT EQUALLY CONCERNED THAT ALL PEOPLE BE TREATED FAIRLY UNDER THE LAW. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 1 11:59:58 IF YOU WERE PROUD OF THAT, WHY WAS THE SIGNING NOT DONE IN PUBLIC? BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY DIVISIVE ISSUE. A VERY BITTERLY DIVISIVE ISSUE AND THERE WERE A GOOD PEOPLE WHO OPPOSED THAT BILL. I THINK MOST OF THOSE GOOD PEOPLE HAVE NOW COME TO SEE THAT IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, IS TO GIVE EVERYBODY THE RIGHTS, BUT AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS BEST NOT TO HAVE A TRIUMPHANTALIST PUBLIC CEREMONY AND FURTHER DIVIDE THE STATE WHICH I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO HEAL. TRACK: DEAN SERVED FIVE 2-YEAR TERMS AS VERMONT'S GOVERNOR, LEAVING OFFICE LAST JANUARY. SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 2 12:42:26 "CHIPS, CHIPS - SIR?" SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 2 12:51:18 THE CAMPAIGN IS GOING WELL. WE ARE IN THE TOP THREE NOW IN IOWA AND NH. WE ARE MOVING UP ELSEWHERE. TRACK: IT HAS BEEN A LONG CLIMB TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE. SOUNDUP: DEAN MAINSTREETING TAPE 14;03:17 CAN I JUST GIVE YOU ONE OF THESE? I'M HOWARD DEAN, I'M RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. TRACK: WHEN DEAN BEGAN CAMPAIGNING LAST YEAR, FEW THOUGHT THE GOVERNOR OF A SMALL, NORTHERN STATE WOULD GET VERY FAR BY RUNNING ON HIS RECORD. SOUNDUP: DEAN MAINSTREETING TAPE 14;05:55 I WANT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET AND I WANT HEALTH CARE FOR EVERY AMERICAN. WE'VE ALREADY DONE EVERY CHILD. NEARLY EVERY CHILD UNDER 18 HAS HEALTH INSURANCE IN OUR STATE. IF WE CAN DO THAT IN A SMALL STATE LIKE VERMONT, WE CAN DO HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS COUNTRY. TRACK: BUT AS IT BECAME MORE APPARENT THAT PRESIDENT BUSH WANTED TO ATTACK IRAQ, DEAN STOOD OUT FOR HIS OPPOSITION TO THAT POLICY. SOUNDUP: DEAN/SENIORS TAPE 2 09:57:25 "WE'VE GOT TO START STANDING FOR SOMETHING AGAIN." BITE: DEAN/SENIORS TAPE 1 9:21:35 LOOK, NOBODY CAN RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT BEING READY TO USE THE FULL FORCE OF THE AMERICAN MILITARY WHEN IT'S NECESSARY - AND I'M WILLING TO USE THE FULL FORCE OF THE AMERICAN MILITARY WHEN IT'S NECESSARY. THE PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IS THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER MADE THE CASE THAT WE NEED TO SEND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN TO IRAQ TO DIE. SOUNDUP: DEAN/SENIORS TAPE 2 10:01:30 "WE AGREE WITH YOUR MESSAGE - GET IT OUT THERE." "I WILL - AND YOU CAN HELP ME GET IT OUT THERE." SOUNDUP: DEMOCRAT DINNER TAPE 1 01:01:52 "HOWARD DEAN, HOWARD DEAN." SOUNDUP: DEMOCRAT DINNER TAPE 1 01;05:10 WHAT IS IN THE PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE? IT'S CHANGE. IT'S A PRESCRIPTION FOR CHANGE. BITE: DEMOCRAT DINNER TAPE 2 07:45:00 WHAT ARE WE DOING SUPPORTING UNILATERAL INTERVENTION IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES. TRACK: A MONTH AFTER THAT SPEECH, THE WAR BEGAN. BITE: DEAN/NEA TAPE 2 03;39:00 I HAVE NO DOUBT WE'RE GOING TO BEAT SADDAM HUSSEIN AND GET RID OF HIM. BUT MY MAJOR CONCERN IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN A WORLD WHERE THE UNITED STATES HAS USED ITS MILITARY POWER IN A WAY THAT IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WE FIND IN IRAQ. TRACK: WITH NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION YET FOUND IN IRAQ, DEAN IS NOW CALLLING FOR AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE PRESIDENT'S CONDUCT OF THE WAR. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 2 13:01;59 EITHER OUR INTELLIGENCE SERVICES ARE TERRIBLE - OR THE PRESIDENT'S ADVISORS WITHHELD INFORMATION FROM THE PRESIDENT - OR THE PRESIDENT KNEW MUCH MORE THAN HE WAS SAYING AND HE DID NOT TELL THE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. STANDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 5 18:46: IT WAS DEAN'S OPPOSTION TO MILITARY ACTION IN IRAQ THAT FIRST DREW WIDER DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT TO HIS CANDIDACY - BUT EVEN WITH THE WAR OVER, HIS CAMPAIGN CONTINUES TO DRAW NEW RECRUITS. SOUNDUP: MEETUP TAPE 00:05:10 00:12:40 MY NAME IS MATSU - I AM FROM LONDONDERRY. TRACK: THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH, VOLUNTEERS GATHER IN COFFEE SHOPS, RESTAURANTS - AND IN THIS CASE, AN ICE CREAM PARLOR, TO TALK ABOUT DEAN'S CAMPAIGN - AND HOW TO HELP OUT. SO FAR, MORE THAN 50,000 PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED ON FOR THESE MEETUPS ON THE INTERNET. BITE: MEETUP TAPE 00:05:10 OTHER CAMPAIGNS ARE USING MEETUP AS WELL. THE NEXT CLOSEST CAMPAIGN HAS JUST UNDER 4000 PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY - SO THIS IS A KEY ORGANIZING STRATEGY FOR US. IT HAS BEEN VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL. BITE: MEETUP TAPE 00:18:41 I THINK THE INTERNET IS A HUGE PART OF THE DEAN CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT'S A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE OUT OF TOUCH WITH POLITICS OTHERWISE. I'VE NEVER GOTTEN INVOLVED IN A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN BEFORE AND HERE I AM IN THE FLESH DOING SOMETHING REAL. WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN DO ON THE INTERNET - BUT THAT'S WHAT GOT ME HERE. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 5 19:06:20 GEORGE BUSH'S PLAN FOR THIS COUNTRY, FOR HIS FINANCES AND ECONOMICS IS MODELED AFTER ARGENTINA. BORROW AND SPEND, BORROW AND SPEND, THIS IS THE CREDIT CARD PRESIDENCY. AND YOU KNOW WHO'S PAYING FOR ALL THIS? YOU ARE. TRACK; DEAN SAYS HE WOULD REPEAL ALL OF THE PRESIDENT'S TAX CUTS, WHICH HE SAYS WILL HAVE ALMOST NO STIMULATING EFFECT. BITE: DEAN/ POLITICS N' EGGS TAPE 12:05 THE AVERAGE PERSON IN THIS STATE GOT A TAX CUT OF ABOUT $200. AND HE GIVES TAX CUTS TO PEOPLE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF DISCRETIONARY INCOME. IF YOU GIVE TAX CUTS TO PEOPLE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF DISCRETIONARY INCOME, THE TAX CUTS HAVE NO EFFECT ON THEIR SPENDING. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 2 13:08:50 "MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THE POLITICAL EQUATION FOR BEATING GEORGE BUSH. HE SHOWED US IN 2000 THAT HE'LL STOP AT NOTHING TO STEAL THE ELECTION. I WORRY THAT A PROGRESSIVE GOVERNOR FROM A SMALL, MOSTLY RURAL AND WHITE STATE - HOW'S IT GOING TO PLAY ACROSS THE NATION? I JUST - ALL I CARE ABOUT - I AGREE WITH EVERY WORD THAT CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH - I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR A DEMOCRAT SOUND LIKE THE DEMOCRATS I GREW UP WITH. BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 2 13:10:48 *****YOU KNOW WHY WE'RE GOING TO WIN THIS ELECTION AND BEAT GEORGE BUSH? BECAUSE THE OTHER DEMOCRATS MAKE THEIR MISTAKE OF PLANTING THEIR FLAG IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT THEY THINK THE ELECTORATE IS BUT IT'S AN EVER-SHRINKING RIGHTWARD-MOVING ELECTORATE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP. THEY DON'T THINK WE CAN TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM ANYMORE. WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS REACH OUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN UP. SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 3 13:39:52 **DEAN POUNDS THE PAVEMENT - GOOD NATS TRACK: DEAN SAYS HE IS OUT TO EXPAND THE ELECTORATE - TO REACH THE HALF OF ALL AMERICANS WHO DON'T VOTE. SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 3 13:49:53 ** WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO NEED REGISTERING. TRACK: AND HE ALSO WARNS MORE LIBERAL SUPPORTERS THAT HE IS CONSERVATIVE ON BUDGET AND DEFENSE ISSUES. BITE; DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 4 16:03:25 WE'RE ALREADY UNDERFUNDING HOMELAND SECURITY, AND THAT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. WE CAN'T EXPOSE OUR PEOPLE TO RISK. AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT TO CUT THE DEFENSE AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUDGET. YOU NEED TO MOVE MONEY AROUND INSIDE OF IT. YOU CAN'T CUT IT." "WE ALREADY SPEND MORE THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD IN TOTAL." "IT'S TRUE - HERE'S MY CRITERIA. IN ADDITION TO DEFENSE, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO STOP GENOCIDE IN THE WORLD. SO WHEN WE HAVE TO GO INTO KOSOVO OR BOSNIA BECAUSE NATO OR THE UN WON'T DO IT, THAT COSTS MONEY. AND I THINK IT'S WORTH SAVING THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE DYING. SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 5 19:02;03 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE DOCTOR IS IN. TRACK: IN HIS QUEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY, HOWARD DEAN DRAWS UPON HIS EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY. ON THIS DAY, HE TENDED TO A VOLUNTEER WHO HAD BEEN BITTEN BY A DOG WHILE CAMPAIGNING DOOR TO DOOR. SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 5 17:26:10 "IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS, BACICTRACIN WILL DEAL WITH IT EASILY. "GREAT - THANK YOU VERY MUCH." "THANKS FOR SACRIFICING FOR THE CAMPAIGN." TRACK: EARLIER IN THE DAY, DEAN INTERRUPTED HIS SCHEDULE WHEN HE ENCOUNTERED THIS ACCIDENT IN CONCORD. HE ENSURED THE INJURIES WERE NOT LIFE-THREATENING AND WAITED UNTIL THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED. SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 3 15;13:30 PARAMEDICS PULL UP - SOUND OF SIREN BITE: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 1 12:15:25 YOU HAVE EARNED TWO TITLES SO FAR IN YOUR CAREER…DOCTOR, GOVERNOR. WHICH ONE ARE YOU MORE PROUD OF? THEY'RE BOTH GREAT. DOCTORS TAKE CARE OF INDIVIDUALS AT A TIME AND MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN AN INDIVIDUAL LIFE, GOVERNORS CAN DO THINGS FOR LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING HEALTH INSURANCE FOR EVERY CHILD THAT A DOCTOR BY HIMSELF COULD NEVER DO. AND NOW I'M HOPING FOR A THIRD TITLE, SO I CAN BRING HEALTH INSURANCE TO EVERY AMERICAN. TRACK: FOR NH OUTLOOK, I'M RICHARD AGER SOUNDUP: DEAN CAMPAIGNS TAPE 3 15:23;30 *** THIS IS GREAT." "DO YOU DO MINGLING FIRST?" "I DO A LITTLE MINGLING, I MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE ICE CREAM FIRST." "OH GOOD, WE BETTER GET OVER THERE AND TELL THOSE KIDS …. |

CARS COMING IN / PUTTING UP DEAN SIGNS CHIP VO ROLAND AND KITTY HOK ARE PLANNING AN OLD FASHIONED ICE CREAM SOCIAL WITH A POLITICAL TWIST. I NORMALLY WOULDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO AN ELECTION THIS EARLY BUT WE HAVE A NEIGHBOR, GARY HIRSCHBERGER, WHO IS COFOUNDER OF STONEY FIELD YOGURT. ACTIVE POLITICALLY AND WE GOT AN INVITE TO GO HEAR HOWARD DEAN AT HIS HOUSE. THAT WAS BACK IN APRIL - I WENT TO A DEAN MEETUP AFTER GARY'S EVENT. AND I SIGNED A LITTLE YELLOW PIECE OF PAPER THAT SAID YOU COULD SIGN UP FOR VARIOUS THINGS TO HELP OUT. SO, I THOUGHT A LITTLE HOUSE PARTY WOULD BE NICE. A FEW NEIGHBORS IN AND THAT WILL BE IT. SO, HERE WE ARE AND THEY'RE EXPECTING 250 TO 300 PEOPLE. CHIP VO - NOT ALL CAMPAIGN STOPS ARE THIS LARGE, BUT THIS IS NEW HAMPSHIRE WHERE VOTERS EXPECT TO MEET THEIR CANDIDATE FACE TO FACE. PETER BRAGDON - I'M NOT YET IN GOVERNOR DEANS CAMP I BELIEVE THE WORDS HE STATES - I'M COMING HERE TO TRUST MY GUT. TO SEE IF WE HAVE SOMEBODY WHO CAN BEAT PRES. BUSH. - HOW DID YOU GET INVITED ON SOMEBODY'S LIST OH YOU GOT ONE OF THESE POST CARDS ARE YOU MAKING THE $15 RECOMMENDED DONATION EVEN MORE I WANT SOMEBODY WHO HAS A VISION WHO ISN'T OPERATING NEGATIVELY NATION MAGAZINE STATED THAT PRES. BUSH MAKES NEGATIVE STATEMENTS THAT APPEAL TO OUR FEAR. AND I WANT A CANDIDATE WHO APPEALS TO OUR HOPE DID YOU INVITE ALL OF THE PEOPLE OR DID THE DEAN CAMPAIGN GET INVOLVED. - BOTH OF US I INVITED A LIST OF PERSONAL FRIENDS AND WE DECIDED TO DO IT BY EMAIL SO THE FRIENDS THAT WERE INVITED WERE FRIENDS WHO'S EMAIL I HAD SO IT WAS PRETTY RANDOM. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO I LOVE DON'T HAVE EMAIL. BUT THE CAMPAIGN SENT OUT A LOT OF INVITATIONS AS WELL. ARE YOU STILL ON THE FENCE? - I HAVE MET SEVERAL OF THE CANDIDATES AND I ALWAYS COME BACK TO DEAN SO I KNOW THAT I AM MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE. SO YOU'RE NOT HERE TO CONVINCE YOURSELF. NO I'M HERE TO CONVINCE OTHERS. YOU MIGHT SAY THAT… SO, WHO'S PAYING FOR THE FOOD HERE? - SOME OF THE ICE CREAM WAS DONATED BY THE HIRSHBERGS AND US. AND LEMONADE WAS MADE BY MY CHILDREN.. AND I MADE RASPBERRY SAUCE FROM OUR GARDEN. I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT DEAN HAS TO SAY I LIKE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY AND A REFRESHINGLY BLUNT APPROACH AND HE SEEMS TO CUT THROUGH SOME ISSUES THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, FOR I'M NOT SURE WHAT REASON, APPEAR TO BE AFRAID TO SPEAK SO OPENLY ABOUT. AND DEMOCRATS HAVE FALLEN INTO THAT MINDSET AND IT'S REFRESHING TO SEE SOMEONE THAT IS NOT BEING AFFECTED BY THAT - WE ARE NOT GOING TO BEAT BUSH BY TRYING TO BE LIKE HIM. PEOPLE ARE ALMOST AS UPSET WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS THEY ARE WITH THE REPUBLICANS. BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT STOOD UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE CLOSES … WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET PEOPLE TO VOTE UNLESS WE STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE NO MATTER WHAT IT SAYS IN THE POLLS - UNLESS WE CARRY THE BANNER TO FREE THIS COUNTRY, TO GIVE IT BACK TO EVERYONE OF US, SO WE CAN ALL AGAIN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH…APPLAUSE… SCHMOOZING, AND TALKING WITH FOLKS AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO HIS CAR. SO, HE CAME HE SPOKE HE'S LEAVING WHAT DO YOU THINK.? I THINK HE CAME HE SAW HE CONQUERED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE. I WILL PROBABLY SEE HIM AGAIN I AM LEANING TOWARDS HIM AND IT'S NH HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE HIM AGAIN. HE IS THE STRAIGHTEST TALKING POLITICIAN I'VE HEARD SINCE HARRY TRUMAN SO THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME DO YOU SEE YOURSELVES CONTINUING TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN? IT'S ALMOST LIKE EVOLUTION. YOU GO INTO A LITTLE NITCH SOMETHING HAPPENS YOU REACT TO THAT THEN SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS.I'M GUESSING THERE WILL BE A BUNCH MORE REQUESTS SINCE WE HAVE RESPONDED TO EVERYONE SO FAR. THAT'S MY GUESS. CHIP VO - OK HOWARD DEAN CAME, HE SHOOK HANDS, HE ATE SOME ICE CREAM, HE SPOKE, AND HE LEFT. IN CONCORD FOR NH OUTLOOK I'M CHIP NEAL. |
