Dean-amo

LA Weekly's current cover story is a lengthy look at Howard Dean ("Out of Left Field: Rolling with people-powered Howard Dean from the highs and lows of spring to the triumphs of summer"):

The most impressive thing about Howard Dean, and what seems genuinely to distinguish him from his fellow candidates, is his ability to think in three dimensions, to connect disparate ideas and concepts and problems in a remarkably intelligent and compelling way. It's a doctor's way of thinking: puzzling things out.

I've been thoroughly enjoying the Lydon/Winer audio bundle, which includes all three of Chris's Dean segments.
