Election 2004: Dean at 30

The second in a series of profiles of 2004 Presidential Candidates at age 30.



HOWARD DEAN was a scrub
Turned 30: 11/17/78

LOW: Age 55 Announces he will seek Confederate vote	HIGH: Age 49 Strengthens "Dr. Dynasaur" program, guaranteeing health coverage and poor spelling ability for every child in Vermont

AT 30: A few months into his residency in internal medicine at the University of Vermont Medical Center. According to our med school expert Dr. Chris G., the newly doctored Dean would have been "on the wards, taking care of patients medically.... an internist does a lot of rectal exams." After a brief post-undergrad stint following in his father's footsteps as an investment broker, Dean had checked in to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, from which he graduated at age 29. He made his first run for office in his mid-thirties, winning a spot in the Vermont state legislature.
