Rove had originally been slated to debate Robert Gibbs, President Barack Obama’s campaign advisor and former White House Press Secretary, but because Gibbs was unable to attend, Dean replaced him………..

Moderating the debate was political science professor Peter Feaver, director of the American Grand Strategy program, which sponsored the event. Feaver joked that, had they not gotten Dean to fill in last minute, he would have had to “pull a Clint Eastwood” and have Rove debate an empty chair……..

Unlike the night’s more pugnacious presidential debate, Rove and Dean’s camaraderie and banter caused their debate to resemble a conversation between friends with opposing political viewpoints. When Feaver asked Rove and Dean to introduce each other, for example, both debaters plied one another with backhanded compliments………..

During Rove’s introduction, he poked fun about various moments throughout Dean’s political career. Rove described how Dean supported Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1964 “and then went downhill from there.” He also joked about a later Democratic Convention in which Dean “drank with Kennedy people but voted with the Carter people.”……….

Despite these comments, Rove sincerely commended Dean for being a “fervent advocate for the things he believes in” and for his long service as governor of Vermont………..Michael…Michael…Michael…They (the Illuminati) attack us from SO MANY angles. Howard Dean is EVIL also. The point to going Socialist/Progressive is CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL, no better than the Corrupted Captitalist Banker Establishment. We are attached from the top “Rich” Corporate Class and from the Bottom by the Socialist/Dem class that wants a totally dependent Welfare state. I still think your book is good in how it criticizes the Federal Reserve.
