DEAN FOR DNC

I say the guy deserves it. He and his supporters did less sitting on their hands than any defeated Democratic Party faction in history, left or right. They poured money and energy into Kerry's Campaign as if they had been for him all along.

Harry Reid is exactly the right guy for senate minority leader. He is well-liked by many Reps, which could come in handy since they run the place, and he is a wizard at legislation. But bipartisanship is not what we need at the DNC.

McCaulliffe was a great fundraiser and a good party chairman. But Dean can succeed where McCauliffe failed as a spokesman for party ideals.

If Dean is sincere about representing Democrats in all 50 states, he will win the support of the state party chairs and be the next head of the Democratic National Committee.
