Phil Talmadge and Howard Dean are two of a kind. They tell the truth that other people don't want to hear, and they stand up and make sure that they are heard. But their message is not 'let me lead you into the promised land'. Their message is "You have the Power!". It's time to stop waiting for leaders, and become leaders ourselves. We are the ones that we have been waiting for!
