But there was one overriding issue facing this nation during the past four years and Howard Dean was there when it counted and you weren’t. If he is to have any chance at all, he is going to have to win back Dean voters, but quickly.Īfter Al and Rick Hertzberg introduced him, I put this to Kerry as the first question: “Senator,” I said (or something like this), “I think you may be the most qualified candidate in the race and perhaps also the one who best represents my own liberal values. But Kerry is not going to be anointed president by a group of Upper West Siders who agree on most things, even if we don’t on the war. I feel certain that just about everyone in that highly self-regarding room left deeply impressed. Once again, he demonstrated a thoughtfulness, knowledge base and value system that gives him everything, in my not-so-humble-opinion-he could need to be not just a good, but a great president. It was all on the record and yet, it was remarkably open, honest and unscripted. What in the world are we going to do about John Kerry? While his numbers were apparently collapsing in New Hampshire yesterday, Kerry sat down for two hours in Al Franken’s living room with about a dozen and a half journalists, writers and the odd historian, poet and cartoonist.
