2. I'm sad to hear that...

Dean won us Congress in 2006. We'll probably end up with some DLC idiot that will blow it all away.

4. would love to see him as vp

or maybe obama has offered him a job in his cabinet...

5. Nah, he'll be too busy during the election season

He wouldn't be able to go out campaigning.

6. Lots of pressure, let's hope it's not from the DLC - Howard Dean has been great...

Hate to see James Carville or another DLC corporate punk (McAuliffe) take his place....if so, the democratic party (DNC) will be in the hands of moderate republican "lites"....They want to blame Dean for everything and every loss as if it's his fault, yet, they want to take the credit for his many Democratic triumphs, i.e., his 50 state strategy...

Then the DLC can get their conservative Dems elected...very sad.

Dean is, and has been a torn in the side of the republicans as well as the DLC.

What a huge loss Dean would mean...he has kept the moderate to right self-interest corporate "Dems" at bay!

I guess that's where we are heading though....One in the same as the filthy, lying republican corporate slime....

7. Is this the rumor about Dean resigning/being asked to resign?

There have been a few calls for him to go, but I haven't heard anything that suggests he'd go under his own steam. He's said in the past he's in it until we have a new Prez. At that point, it's the President who picks the new DNC chair.

The only article that says Howard Dean resigned is dated 2002, and refers to a fellow who ran DEAN FOODS!

People in FL, especially, are ticked off, since the playing field was level there and all names were on that ballot. That's not going to be mitigated with tsk-tsking or pooh-poohing, either. It's only likely to get more dramatic over time, not less.
