Guardian Unlimited | Dean Welcomed Like Rock Star by Dems

Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Dean Welcomed Like Rock Star by Dems: " Howard Dean isn't running for president anymore, but you'd never know it from the reception he got Sunday night.
Speaking to a crowd of young voters at a party sponsored by Rock the Vote and Democratic Gain, Dean was welcomed like a rock star. He could barely get through the crowd. Once he reached the stage, with his shirt sleeves characteristically rolled up above the elbows, he was greeted with chants of ``Dean, Dean, Dean'' echoing back to his rallies this past winter, when the former Vermont governor was running for the Democratic nomination.

On the other hand, Free, the evening's emcee and co-host of the BET video countdown show ``106 & Park,'' admitted that she's only voted once in her life. ``That's about to change because I saw Fahrenheit/911,'' referring to Michael Moore's blockbuster documentary.

``Did y'all see Fahrenheit 9/11?'' she asked the crowd, drawing plenty of cheers. ``After I saw that, I said 'I'm going to vote every single year.'''"
