Former governor Howard Dean has been getting plenty of ink in his home state this week. As he and former campaign staffers prepare to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the speech that launched his 2004 presidential bid, we in the Vermont news media have used the opportunity to take a stroll down memory lane.
Here at Seven Days, we got ourselves in the mood by throwing “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” in our CD player, watching that weird Michael Jackson documentary and dusting off our old “No Iraq War” lawn signs.
We also gave Ho-Ho a call to ask him about the big anniversary. But one thing we and seemingly every other Vermont reporter neglected to ask him: “Would you run again in 2016?”
CNN’s Peter Hamby evidently didn’t make the same mistake. He caught up with Dean at the Netroots Nation conference out in San Jose and learned that Dean “would consider another run for the White House.”
