Howard Dean discusses the 2008 presidential candidates. (12:25)
During his run for the '04 Democratic nomination for president, Howard Dean's feisty criticism of the Bush administration and use of the Internet for grassroots fund-raising attracted attention. Dean ended his bid in February '04 and included his experience on the campaign trail in his book, You Have the Power: How to Take Back Our Country and Restore Democracy in America. He also founded Democracy for America to build on the new energy sweeping the party. In February '05, Dean was tapped to chair the DNC.

Brian McKnight discusses passing his musical abilities down to his sons. (:41)
Brian McKnight is not only a singer, but also a talented writer, musician, producer and arranger. Known for his romantic ballads, he's proficient on nine instruments, including keyboards, guitar and trumpet. His music is rooted in gospel and jazz, the genres he listened to as a child in a musical family—an older brother is a member of the vocal group Take 6—and that tradition is being carried on by his sons, singer Brian Jr. and guitarist-singer Cole Nicholas. 'Ten' is McKnight's latest CD.
