Can anyone hear your Dean scream on Twitter?
Howard Dean has joined Madeleine Kunin (but not Jim Douglas) on the list of former Vermont governors on Twitter with username @GovHowardDean. He started tweeting back in June, but it's only in the last couple of weeks that he's found his stride. At the moment, Dean seems particularly enamored of the retweet button but when the former governor speaks for himself in his tweets, it's as good as you'd expect.
Dean started his Twitter life with a scream joke. So self-aware.
Excited to launch the #50StateStrategy on twitter! Not only will we win in #NH, we’re going to #SC, #OK, #AZ, #ND, #NM, #CA, #TX … #nn12

Last week Dean shared a few of his musical favorites: Jack Johnson and the String Cheese Incident.

Stuck with Sirius XM for 11 hrs. My new favorite band. The String Cheese Incident. Incredible rhythm and back beat.

Today Dean waded back into political waters, calling out the Republican National Convention for bizarrely identifying a Randolph couple as being from New Hampshire last night.
"New Hampshire" couple who touted Romney last night is from Vermont.It's not just the Big Liesabout GM plantsIts the small ones

And then he retweeted a Thai restaurant. Good stuff. Give him a follow.
