Howard Dean in London today

This afternoon I got the always uplifting chance to hear Howard Dean speak. He was the draw at a Democrats Abroad UK event held at the Imperial College campus in London.
One of the worst things about being an ex-pat is feeling removed from the on-the-ground action. (In spite of my unchangeable screen name, I have been in London for a couple years now.) We don't get the parade of primary candidates the hot states do, although surrogates occasionally visit for money. (Actually, more like California than I thought ;-)
So even if I wasn't an unreformed Deaniac, I have to give kudos to DAUK for making this happen and I went early to help with check-in at this low cost (£10) fundraiser. I think about 300 people registered, which is a really big crowd for DAUK, especially on this exceptionally pretty blue-sky Sunday in a city that used to be called the Big Smoke.
