Actually, my impression of the interview was to change channels.

Gov. Dean keeps pointing to the fact that he has made "similar" decisions as Gov. of Vermont. The reality is that Vermont is not a major state. It's the Arkansas of the Northeast.

Gov. Dean currently is chatting about murders of children, mass murder, and death of law enforcement officers and the death penalty. I would have followed his comment with a question on banning abortion in the second half of pregnancy. Since babies are routinely saved above 25 weeks gestation, it should be unlawful to terminate pregnancies after 25 weeks gestation.

Since he's a doctor, he should be capable of understanding clinical medical issues (though he denies the ability to state a position on gay marriage because he's not a lawyer).

"It's the Arkansas of the Northeast".

Excuse me?

Most of these NE states have a population of a small suburab of most major cities. I know the 2 senator system works, but I wish there was some way to change the primary system so that candidates had to work hard in ONE large and ONE small state for the opening round. That would smooth out the flaws of small states. IOWA, NH and SC are not real good views anymore of what Ameirca is all about.

Your comment is right on.
