There's a great article in The Madison Capital Times about Martin Sheen campaigning for Howard Dean. Sheen was a friend of my friend Mitch Synder. Several years ago Sheen came to Portland and we spoke together about homelessness and religion before a group of Catholic high school students. So what does Sheen have to say about the Dean campaign?

"We've awakened a movement," he says. "And we've made this election meaningful - a real referendum on the direction of our country."

No question about it.
