for being too rational. you are right 
but because he's not perfect, to many (even here in the DU world) he's the devil incarnate. Infuriating, isn't it? Welcome to DU, shopgirl.
Okay, let me dream 
... from Howard Dean was him standing up and telling the world what has REALLY happened to the Democratic Party. But when Chuck Todd asked him if he was going to run in 2016, he said no, that he was supporting Hillary Clinton. What I hope he meant was he will support Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic Nominee for POTUS in 2016. You know, I'm a Democrat through and through, and I vote every time the polls are open. For Democrats. Every two years, and any little local election that occurs in between. But I've learned much since Tuesday, and I imagine I will learn more, as time passes. But as of today?
Let's just put it this way: I will vote ONLY for a real Democrat. A FDR Democrat. 
...where his political philosophy (as with his foreign policy) is: ''Don't do anything stupid!'' But in distancing themselves from him and trying not to be like him, they become him:
- Aloof, standing alone, standing for nothing but themselves.....
I posted the below tag earlier on how the candidate Brown/ Ulman lost the race in Maryland for Governor and Lt. Governor
If the democratic party had in its agenda instead of dismantling the Dean strategy they would not have gotten what occurred in this state and other states: please read
Brown did not and I repeat did not come to Cecil County, he gave up this county, and he sent Ulman his proposed Lt. Governor, that is not good enough, your capital is to attack how these two jerks (Hogan and Rutherford) are going too propose giving "tax Breaks" and in fact just Like Christie and Walker Scott and Kaicsh are doing to the help the already rich, and look at were there sates are when in comes to debt to job creation and other crap in the proverbial s**t hole, and those people in Wisconsin voted the criminal back into office, are they that stupid I mean really.
It just like in a lot ways the new Matt Tiabbi story in the new Rolling Stone edition about the collusion of the DOJ and JP Morgan Chase, and that is culpability is good keep doing it, but digress.
Brown should have came here and said "Why in this republican district in two election cycles why hasn't the republicans in office and in power and trying to get into office why have they not proposed to getting high paying jobs and industry in the district and in the county, while in Cecil County they want to cut more public education to do what, nothing just cut the education to save taxes, and these same hypocrites go around and say they don't have qualified higher educated people for there proposed high industry they are trying to get, when they don't have the educational workforce, that is what they are saying, and these people in this county are buying this s**T hook line and sinker and wonder why they have a Walmart sucking the taxes out of the county, and getting nothing in return.
Both of them (Brown and Ulman) should have gone around this country right after this corporatist Hogan and Rutherford were here and dogged his every move and said something other than visit St. Michels the lower shore an elitist enclave, Montgomery County and the beltway around Washington
Brown should have said and I believe this to be true after I told Tilghman who was running against the fascists Congressman Harris (the right wing fascist Congressman doctor) who is the right wing Club for Growth / Koch brother a**hole, that, once this fascists(Hogan) gets into office one of the first things this prick is going to do, is go after voting laws in this state and try to turn this state red with voter suppression and Union busting middle class tactics, and to cut education and cut taxes, they (right wing republicans) got two top and bought politicians in this state out of how many in this election cycle.
In the last two election cycles it has gone to the corporatist republican right wing hypocrites on the eastern shore, because the democrats have given up on this county and district and there is no f**king wonder why they and we are losing---go figure.
If this is how the democrats use a chart to get votes they are in deep trouble, Van Hollen only got 60% of the vote and its falling in his Maryland district, what does that tell you, the republicans already own and have bought over 3,5000 council, school board, state senate and state representative seats and the federal level seats with the help of the corrupt judicial system and Citizens United , and if you have a party trying to cherry pick an election in your areas of strength your return becomes more restricted with less if you only make a appearance of contrivance to say the least, and if the democrats haven't figured this out they will become the secondary party know matter what you hear from the talking heads that there is more "minorities in the majority and the right wing republican party will disappear, try the thinking the other way, the media is attacking the democrats to make them into the party of the so called INSTINCT, think of that and what I just said.
27 states are hard core right wing republicans they need only to get to 38 states to have a CONSTITIONAL CONVENTION TO SET THE F**KING AGENDA and its working and if you don't control the state you are F**K
So if this party of the human beings wanting to help out its fellow human beings want to win, they need to go back to the Dean model, because it worked plain and simple
