Howard Dean for SAKAL
Can't resist posting this, and since I am conflicted on the DNC chair thing anyway....I did so appreciate this post.

http://www.liberaloasis.com/archives/110704.htm#110904
TO: Howard Dean

FROM: LiberalOasis

SUBJECT: DNC Chair

LiberalOasis hears that you are interested in being chair of the DNC.

Don't do it.

To be sure, you'd be great at it. But so would others, like Simon Rosenberg and Donna Brazile.

And there's another job that's currently open that desperately needs to be filled.

It doesn’t pay anything, but only you can do it.

It's a job that has never had a formal title associated with it, but let's give it one:

Strategist and Ass-Kicker At-Large, or SAKAL for short.


Let's not kid ourselves Howard. You would have a tougher challenge than Kristol did as a SAKAL. The '04 Dems have a longer way to go than the '92 GOPers.

But in the primaries, when no other Dem knew how to fight, you single-handedly showed them how, combining a feisty attitude with creative messaging. Soon, others saw it working, and then everyone sounded like Dean.

In turn, Bush's poll numbers were dragged down to Earth, and we had ourselves a race."

2. I thought Dean decided against DNC
I read on DU that Dean announced a couple of nights ago that he wasn't going to seek the position. I'm not sure if that is true though.

3. Who knows. At Yale he said he did not have the votes yet.
Did not want to hurt his group or DNC by a possible split if he lost. Hard to say.

4. Howard Dean needs to start his own party
I would join it.

I am done with the Democratic party unless Dean runs it
