The New York Times Magazine is running an interesting article about the Dean Campaign and it’s attraction, not just to young people, but people from every walk of life.
Long before Howard Dean was considered a plausible candidate for president, he seemed to emit some sort of secret call that made people, many of them previously apolitical, drop everything and devote themselves to his campaign. Even after the campaign’s 45 official intern positions were filled, people kept showing up — mostly young people, but also senior citizens in R.V.’s and middle managers from Microsoft.
