RUSH: This morning on Joe Scarborough\u2019s program on MSNBC. He had former Vermont Governor, Howard Dean, former Democrat presidential candidate, talking about the Republican primary. Here\u2019s Howard Dean.<\/p>\n

DEAN: This is fascinating. People have asked me, “Well, do you fear Romney?” I\u2019ve always feared Romney <\/a>the most of any candidate since 2008. I actually fear Santorum <\/a>more, not because he\u2019s a right-wing extremist, which he is, but because he actually can connect with people. I actually think he would be —<\/line><\/p>\n

BRZEZINSKI: Yes, he can.<\/p>\n

DEAN: — tough for us, much tougher than I would have thought, given his positions.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, what\u2019s going on here? With these guys, it\u2019s never apparent. Too often they mean the exact opposite of what they say. And Howard Dean saying: You know what, this guy\u2019s a right-wing extremist, but I\u2019m shocked, he\u2019s connecting with people. And I think he might be tougher than I would have ever thought, given his positions. Well, now, wait a minute, Governor Dean, how can he connect with people if his positions are so wacko? Don\u2019t the two kind of go hand in hand? If you\u2019re gonna connect with people, don\u2019t you have to sorta say things that they agree with, relate to, understand? That\u2019s part of connecting with people. I mean if he\u2019s a right-wing hayseed extremist, that must mean — oh, I get it; that\u2019s right. Howard Dean thinks all of you are right-wing hayseed extremists, and that\u2019s why Santorum\u2019s “connecting.” Okay. And that\u2019s why Romney isn\u2019t. At least Howard Dean is saying, “I don\u2019t know, this guy could be a bigger problem than we thought.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
