Having just frozen my plump Presbyterian buns off handing out Dean literature, I offer the following.

Howard Dean had two terms as president, during which he balanced the federal budget while making sure that federal income taxes were fair and equitable.
He also guaranteed that every American had full health coverage, which lead to a boom in small businesses, which, as Dean predicted, created jobs.
Americans enjoyed genuine civil liberties, while under the able direction of Secretary of Defense Wesley Clark, U.S. Troops exited a democratic Iraq, to focus on tracking down AlQuaida leaders. By May of 2007, the organization was essentially defunct.
Dean's insistance on inspecting cargo containers in U.S. ports stopped the last major attack, when they located the makings of a "dirty nuke" in the port of San Francisco, in 2005.
Dean's instance on a fair and equitable foreign policy, lead to the United States becoming, once again, the hope the free world. It was, of course, unpleasant for several right wing dictators who were used to the support of the United States government. But nobody felt sorry for them.
Shortly after his return to Texas, former president Bush was severely gored, in the crotch, by a longhorn bull.
Former attorney general, John Ashcroft, met my tortie cat with a bad attitude, and fell down four flights of marble stairs, breaking every bone in his body.
