Blake Montgomery, a party intern, got only a 19.
Bob Chapman turned into a deep voice and got a 27.
Mike Green who also got involved scored a 28. With the final line being what are you going to do when the dean master comes for you. Giving his best Macho man look.
The winner of the Howard Dean scream contest was Lanford Holloway who scored a perfect 30. We will have a brief interview with him in a minute.
Richard is from a Columbia high school and came out to show his support for Howard Dean. He won contest becuase of his originality and volume scream. At times he seem like a mad man and even claimed he was going to Puerto Rico, Canada and Iran.
This was a good time to poke fun at politics and not to take themselves too seriously.
