It looks like Howard Dean is going to be the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
No one but no one got in line sooner or worked harder for Kerry than the orange-hats. Howard himself barely missed a beat after the anybody-but-Dean candidate sewed up the nomination; he rolled up his trademark sleeves and went back out on the campaign trail. Following his example, we changed the slogans on our Meetup signs and kept working.
This time the anybody-but-Dean campaign failed and Dean won. It's time to try it our way. Are those unhappy with Dean's victory ready to paste on the fake smiles and show the same commitment to the overall Democratic cause that we showed?

In 2004 we did it the moderate centrist way.
ReplyDeleteDemos ran from a grass-roots candidate to a candidate who supposedly could win after Dean's fellow democrats worked behind the scene to crash him.
Kerry went on to hire the same tired group of professional election losers.
In other words . . . demos got themselves a candidate the insiders said could win.
We lost. By 3%, but we lost.
I dunno about ya'll, but I am ready to have someone who can go into our party and clean the sheeet out of the stable. Like Bob Shrum.
