SNIP..."Oklahoma, Mississippi and Utah Democratic Party Leadership Join Florida in Endorsing Gov. Howard Dean for DNC Chair
Governor Howard Dean was endorsed today by several state Democratic Party chairs and vice chairs, adding to his broad, diverse and growing list of support both among the members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The list of voting DNC state party chairs and vice-chairs supporting Governor Dean include:

Florida: Chairman Scott Maddox, Vice-Chairwoman Diane Glasser
Mississippi: Chairman Wayne Dowdy
Oklahoma: Chairman Jay Parmley, Vice-Chairwoman Debbe Leftwich
Utah: Vice-Chairwoman Nancy Woodside
Washington: Chairman Paul Berendt
Vermont: Chairman Peter Mallary

This list of supporters signifies that people in every region of the country approve of Dean's vision and structure that he wants to bring to the DNC.

"The support of these influential chairs and vice chairs from all parts of the country and across the political spectrum means a lot to me." Dean said, "They are part of my overall strategy for Democrats to be involved in every race in every town, city and precinct. I am looking forward to working with them to ensure my election as the next Chairman of the DNC."

...She deserves a pat on the back for her unflappable loyalty to Kerry and her support of Dean for DNC chair, despite some unseemly fights here between the Dean and Kerry folks.

A toast to blm for being a class act!

13. Ok, here is the type of thing I mean. This really was ugly.

At a conference today with the Mayors convention, Fowler had a really bad dig at him....I gather in public. I did not think they were yet to this point. To say this in a public forum, if true, is really outrageous. Lacks class.

Democratic activist Donnie Fowler said the key to party victory is "listening to people from outside Washington."

"The question about Dean is: While he will have a third of the vote easily, can he get to 50 percent?" Fowler asked. Then he referred to Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, with its huge grass-roots organization and more than $40 million raised.

"Dean had the oranges," Fowler said, "but he couldn't make orange juice."

Good pic of Dean and Webb today.
