Dean owns New Hampshire

Time to go out on a limb, I predict that Dean is going to sweep New Hampshire. Read this great article from SevenDaysVT (sent by reader Amanda Tempel) for a really eye-opening glimpse into teh energy that surrounds Dean as he goes on teh trail (and in comparison to the other candidates, especially anemic Lieberman):

“You know why it is that only 18 percent of kids between the age of 18 and 25 vote?

When it came to attacking inside-the-Beltway politics, Dean pulled no punches, which only reinforced his persona as the Washington outsider. “Here’s what’s the matter with our party,” he intoned. “The president wants to give his campaign contributors $670 billion in additional tax cuts, and instead of asking, ‘Can we afford this when we have the biggest deficit in the history of the country?’ our folks say, ‘No, it should only be $136 billion.’ We’ve already lost the argument.”

Then he pulled out a great image on universal health insurance. “I want white guys who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals in the back to vote Democratic because they have no health insurance, either,” he told the room
