then I think it's imperative that Howard Dean be the next Chair of the DNC.

I can appreciate your loyalty to your candidate Mr Rosenberg but we need a fighter, a REAL fighter, to get our party back.

The Democratic Party is in deep trouble and we need a strong leader to stand up to the elitists who have weakened our party and rendered the Democratic Party ineffectual in winning elections when running against Republicans.

Howard Dean is a grassroots leader who represents the PEOPLE, Chris, and the people know and trust him enough to the job because since losing the primary he hasn't stopped working and fighting for Democrats.

What I am afraid of is that the next leader will just be business as usual like Terry McAuliffe who was good at raising money but he was part of the problem and not the solution. We need somebody who not only can raise money to help Democrats win, we need somebody who represents the spirit of the Democratic Party and someone who understands the hopes and dreams of the average person.

Howard Dean is that leader.
