Why Howard Dean's For Kerry

I worked for Howard Dean during the primary season. I was, in fact, one of the orange-hats canvassing up in Iowa. Ever since Kerry won the nomination, Howard Dean has been a model team-player, keeping his eye on the most immediate goal of ousting George Bush. And this week he explains very clearly why that goal is so important.

A solid Kerry victory will be a start. A landslide-with-coattails would be a solid beginning. But whatever happens on November 2, the real work will begin on November 3: the day we refocus on building a forceful new progressivism, retaking the Democratic party, and sending these Republicans into History's dumpster along with the Whigs. Dean's organization was-- and is-- a preamble to that future.
