Here's the excerpt from Meet the Press interview: RUSSERT: ... put a Washington lobbyist in charge of your campaign? DEAN: Roy Neel hasn't been a Washington lobbyist for four years, first of all. Secondly, he was Al Gore's chief of staff. He was Bill Clinton's deputy chief of staff. And he's a great organizer, and he's a good guy. The issue in this campaign is not who's running the campaign. The issue in the campaign is how we're going to beat George Bush and get the kind of a regime out of power in Washington. And, you know, you can savage Roy Neel all you want. And The New York Times evidently had no compunction about doing it. But the truth is, he has not been in the lobbying business for four years. He's been a college professor. And I think he's been good for the campaign, and he'll continue to be good for the campaign. This is not about Roy Neel. This is about changing this country, and this is about standing up for what you think is right. RUSSERT: When Roy was head of the United States Telecom Association, the political action committee gave money to Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay. How is that not business as usual? DEAN: What does that have to do with four years of being a college professor and being the chief of staff for Bill Clinton and Al Gore? blog.deanforamerica.com
