| Howard Dean considering bid to chair Democratic Party | |
| 2004-11-09 | |
Former presidential candidate Howard Dean is considering a bid to become chairman of the national Democratic Party. Steve Grossman, himself a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Dean had told him he was thinking about it. Dean was traveling today in New York and unavailable for comment. His spokeswoman, Laura Gross, said ``it was far too early to be speculating on that.'' The 240 members of the Democratic National Convention will elect a new chair early next year. Several names are already being mentioned, including former Clinton aide Harold Ickes; Donna Brazile, who ran Al Gore's presidential campaign, and Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack.

| #7 Upon further reflection, this might not be such a bad idea for the Dems in general and for the Hildebeest’s chances in '08 in particular. Consider: if the moonbat wing of the Democratic party is still prominent by '08 she has no shot at all, the question then becomes how best to exorcise the moonbats in a timely manner. It occurs to me that the ’06 midterms might provide the perfect opportunity. How better to exorcise the moonbats than to put the chief moonbat in charge and allow unelectable far-left candidates to be pushed in ’06? Following an ’06 bloodletting of historic proportions there would quite literally be no one other than Bill & the Hildebeest left to pick up the pieces on the left. |

| #6 So, the Dems will end it all with a banzai charge in 2008. That gives us 4 years to dig in and bore sight our weapons. Pass the popcorn. |
