Dean was a guest on Ari Melber’s show on MSNBC post-election. First Ari reviewed some Dean campaign history. Seems like only yesterday..  Howard comes on at about 8 minutes in.  I was glad to hear him say he’s working with some folks from the DNC and his campaign on what we do next.

Some highlights:

“There’s no place that Democrats should fear to tread anywhere in America.”

“The 50 state strategy has gone into some some disrepair… it’s gotta be rebuilt”

“People in the beltway are the last to really know what’s going on in the country…”

“The problem with the DNC is it’s still an inside the beltway organization.”

The DC beltway is “middle school on steroids”

“We need to copy what Howard Dean did.”  (Karl Rove)
