Where is Howard Dean

I heard on one of the news shows that Howard Deans deserves a lot of credit for getting the GOTV movement started with new media back in 04. I haven't heard from him in awhile but I totally aggree with the pundit that said it.

Howard told me in February 2009 that if he got shut out of the Obama administration that he would spend his time "raising hell for causes he believed in."

He was, as usual, true to his word. This is his latest.
