Earlier this week in Washington DC, I had the privilege to hear Governor Howard Dean address progressive leaders from around the country at the America Votes Summit. After his speech, Governor Dean was available to meet and greet us, as well as sign his book, Presicription for REAL Healthcare Reform. I mentioned that the last time I had met him was in Atlanta at an event with Jane Kidd. Governor Dean quickly asked if Jane was still Chair of the party, to which I replied, “Yes, and I’m trying to get her to run against Johnny Isakson next year.”
Governor Dean looked up at me and smiled, and then he looked back down and signed a book for Jane, which read:
“To Jane, Run!! Howard Dean”

I wanted to use this as a chance to say thank you to everyone who has signed the petition to draft Jane Kidd to run for US Senate in 2010, and to call on others and urge them to do the same. Georgia needs Jane Kidd.
