You have the power!

Howard Dean this morning gave Democrats the best five minutes they've had on NBC's "The Today Show" in weeks, maybe months. He was strong, direct, unflappable, and on message, attacking Bush as the real flip-flopper ("First he was against creating the Department of Homeland Security, then he was for it; First he was against the 9/11 commission, then he was for it; First he refused to testify to the commission; then he agreed...." and words to that affect.) and turning "what ifs" about his own candidacy into more attacks on Bush and solid support for Kerry. He even worked in a line or two to raise expectations about Bush's debate performance. It was a thing of beauty -- even James Carville hasn't been that good. Hopefully we'll see more of him between now and the election.
