Former Gov. Howard Dean and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., will be the honored guests tonight at the David Curtis Leadership Awards banquet at Hilton Burlington.

The Vermont Democratic Party will host our Tenth Annual David W. Curtis Leadership Awards on Saturday, March 28th, 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton in Burlington. The 2009 Curtis Award will honor Governor Howard Dean and his 50 State Strategy, which revolutionized the Democratic Party and led to victories at every level in states across the country.
This year, we’re excited to welcome special guest speaker Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri. In November of 2006, Senator McCaskill became the first woman elected to the United States Senate from Missouri. She serves on the Armed Services, Commerce, Homeland Security and Government Affairs, Aging, and Indian Affairs committees.

2. Ummm...honoring Dean

McCaskill is just the speaker, not being given an award. And for that I am greatful, for she is a shill for the nursing home 'industry' that enriched her family and bought her position. Now she's 'fixing' the very programs that pay her hubby great piles of cash for 'eldercare'.
