Howard Dean Needs to Change His Mind

Keith Ellison is a great guy, but we do not need another Party Chair who simultaneously holds a seat in Congress. ala DWS. Howard also has a proven track record of success. If anyone here has his personal number, call him!

Is because he's running for fricking PRESIDENT in 2020!!!

Dean, Biden, and Richardson are three of the best Presidential nominees the Democratic Party never had.

Given that 70 is the new 60, only Biden is on the upper age limit for a run at the Presidency. He'd be 78 in 2020.

But Dean....HELL YEAGH!! Last time he was DNC Chair, the Democratic party won in a landslide, and controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress. That's what I call a proven track record.

And now that Reince Pubis has been appointed WH Chief of Staff, the RNC is going to be looking for a new Chair. I'd love to see Howard Dean matched up against whoever they pick (probably David Duke) to put on all the cable news shows whenever they set up a cage match between the RNC chair and the DNC chair.

a record of success. 50 states involved in the democratic party process and we might be able to save the country.

Research more about who employs him and to what end.

I enjoyed Dean's run in 2004, and stumped for him, especially for his stance on healthcare. But he is much more corporate/status quo these days.
