Vermont Public Radio Impact Series: Vermont and the Presidency

Vermont Public Radio ran a 5-part radio series from Dec. 17 - 21 focused on Howard Dean's presidential run in the context of Vermont history and influence on national politics. The five part series is also available online. Here is the excerpt and direct links to transcripts and audio from the VPR website:

Gov. Howard Dean believes he has a message and possibly a mission. He's considering whether to mount a bid for the country's highest office. The possibility raises many issues that are explored by Vermont Public Radio in the week-long series, "Vermont and the Presidency."

The series looks at the governor as a "new kind" of Democrat. It considers viewpoints from New Hampshire, where Dean could have significant name recognition. VPR examines the monumental fund-raising effort that would have to occur. And the series will look at the two Vermonters who did become president as well as the role of the Vermont mystique.
