STEVE KORNACK, COLUMNIST, NEW YORK OBSERVER: I don’t dispute that it’s real. I don’t dispute that the rage is real. I don’t dispute that these people have genuine, in their minds, in their hearts, gripe with Obama and with the health care plan. I just dispute that it really adds up to anything. I dispute that it suggests that there’s a broad movement in this country afoot that is similar to that, you know, in terms of rage.

I don’t think — when you look at a poll that finds that roughly 50 percent of the public feels they sort of support what Obama’s trying to do on health care and about 50 percent oppose it right now, I don’t think the 50 percent that oppose it feel the way these people feel.

I think if you can draw a parallel, if you can think back to 2000, the presidential election in 2000, Ralph Nader ran for president, if you remember. He drew 15,000 people at his rallies, paying $7 a head to get in. They had more energy and more enthusiasm then anywhere else. Did it mean anything? No, it meant intensity; it didn’t mean breadth of support. We’re seeing intensity, here.

DOBBS: You want to ask al gore how much it meant?
