Howard Dean Rules

The first ever Yearly Kos convention for progressive political bloggers and activists has been a resounding success, drawings thousands of attendees, as well as widespread media coverage in publications from the New York Times to the Chronicle. The coverage is also a consequence of the presence of Democratic party heavy hitters, including the godfather of the netroots, Howard Dean. I encourage you to watch a brief highlight reel of Dean’s speech given at the convention. I believe it conveys in a powerful way his knack for imbuing political discourse with a sincere dose of humility and righteousness.
