2. The ONLY reason Dean was the DNC chair
was that the Executive Board members from each state INSISTED that he take over the chairmanship. This was despite HEAVY, HEAVY lobbying from the establishment corporatist DLC. I don't know about the other states but in California the corporate whores were out in force pushing basically anyone but Dean (I think it was Ford back then). A LOT of delegates in California were still mightily pissed off at what the party establishment did to Dean which basically pissed all over the grassroots efforts. These are the people who are now in power so it's no wonder Dean is being snubbed. And President Change seems to be just fine with it.
