You know what this means, don't you? EVERY STATE IN THE UNION HAS ELECTED A DEM!!

[Bicoastal]

In 2004, there were quite a few states with absolutely no Democrats serving above the city or state government level.

After 2006, there were only two--Idaho and Alaska.

But in 2008, Bill Sali of Idaho and Ted Stevens of Alaska were both defeated, which means:

In 2009, All 50 States Will Have at Least One Democrat Serving in the House, Senate, or Governor's Seat!

:kick:THANK YOU HOWARD DEAN!!:kick:

1. Hot damn! GREAT post!

rec'd!

[BlooInBloo]

Is the same still true of republicans?

[crispini]

4. I think if you look in the northeast you'd find some states with no R's

but I'm not sure.

[unblock]

8. massachusetts is republican-free, but it's the only one in new england, at least

we seem to go for republican governors up here.

[Bicoastal]

9. New Mexico is now completely blue:

Governor Bill Richardson,

Reps Martin Heinrich, Harry Teague, and Ben R. Luján,

And Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall

Are all DEMOCRATS!

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. Thank you Dr. Dean

It's too bad that the very ones who reduced this party to its lowest ever national levels are now trying to lay claim to your victory.

[Erin Elizabeth]

10. I'd be willing to trade my two Republican Senators for

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Even if it's smushed, you can still have them.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Please?

Cornyn and Hutchison. A two-fer. TAKE THEM. Gah.

11. Thank you, Dr Gov

50 state Strategist Dean..the best birthday(yesterday) present he could have:party::kick:

[POAS]

12. But this is still

a "center-right" country and the Democratic party will have to govern from the right if it wants to survive.

13. I love that Howard Dean.

:toast:

[firedupdem]

14. Great News!!! Go Dean!! n/t

[chiefofclarinet]

15. Wow!!

:wow:

Every state has at least one Dem in the House or Senate?

Yay!!!!

[Jim Lane]

19. Not quite....

"Every state has at least one Dem in the House or Senate?"

No, the OP included governorships. For example, Wyoming's Congressional delegation is all-Republican, but the Governor is a Democrat.

[chiefofclarinet]

20. Oops...

Well, 49 out of 50 ain't bad, especially with a good Dem as governor.

[ColbertWatcher]

16. Wow! Thank you Dr. Dean!

And thank you Bicoastal for the thread!

[Life Long Dem]

17. Yeah, I suppose..

Congratulations Howard Dean! :party:

[Connonym]

18. We need to have Howard on money or something

I hope we see him as head of HHS with his first project being universal healthcare.

[Jennicut]
