Q:What do you stand for and what are you fighting against?
Dean: "...And what I'm fighting against: this president--what I would call the borrow-and-spend credit card presidency of a radical, a person who squandered our respect around the world, wasted our economic assets and has an agenda that is consistent not with American values, but some narrow-minded conservative agenda that doesn't fit America."
Q: How willing are you to play hardball? Will you question the legitimacy of the last presidential election?
Dean: "I will certainly address the issue of the Supreme Court's role, which was clearly politically motivated. The rule in close elections is to always count the votes because that's the only thing that gives people confidence in it. The Supreme Court had the opportunity to make sure the election was legitimate by recounting the Florida votes, but they chose not to. I think that is the worst decision that the court has made since the Dred Scott decision. This year the candidate with the most votes will be the winner."
Q: The Republicans are going to try to paint you as a "Birkenstock liberal." To clarify: Do you now, or have you ever owned a pair of Birkenstocks?
Dean:
"No."
Q: How can all of this go on and the president still have high approval ratings?
Dean: "Because you guys aren't writing about it. And you guys aren't writing about it because we're not talking about it. Now that we're talking about it, you guys have a reason to write about it. I mean, you know it's fine for everyone to blame the media because they don't say anything, but the truth is the Democrats haven't dared to say anything because they think the way to get elected is to be a little bit like the president. I think that's nonsense."
These are just a few great statements by Dean in this article: http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/cover/
