Well, personally, I've been living in Vermont for over 14 years and my wife and I were doing a heck of a lot better when Clinton was President and Dean was Governer. Dean ran a "small state" pretty damn well in my opinion. It is a micrcosm. He balanced evironment with business, gave health care to all children and most of the poor, balanced the budget every year, etc. That sounds like something this country could use right now. I'd stack Dean's record as Governer against Bush in Texas any day.
