I miss Chairman Dean.

[JVS]

In just one year we've gone from the 50 state strategy to the 0 state strategy.
:-(

1. You said it

Howard is my hero.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

2. Amen.

Kaine has been literally invisible.

[tekisui]

3. The biggest mistake Obama and the rest made was

to quit listening to Dean after the election. Not only does he know how to win, he knows how to govern effectively.

[ProSense]

4. Why wasn't Dean in Mass? n/t

[tekisui]

6. Was he asked for help?

[vi5]

10. He's not in charge any more...

..doesn't control the purse strings.

Doesn't have the phone lists, voter rolls, databases.

Doesn't have any of the tools and mechanisms that he had at his disposal as head of the DNC to help democrats win elections which is one fo the main functions of that job.

Thats's all in someone else's hands now because some other people decided they didn't want him in charge any more.

5. knr...

7. Do you mind if I repeat "0 State Strategy?" That's too good. It bears repeating.

I sincerely believe the current party leadership wants to lose seats this year.

[JVS]

8. Feel free.

[blm]

9. EXACTLY right! National DNC didn't lift a finger to direct ANY state party facing election - not NJ

not Virginia and not Massachusetts. There is NO leadership of the party at a NATIONAL level directing a NATIONAL strategy for the party.

[Dinger]

11. Me Too (nt)

[BP2]

12. You gotta luv a person who calls 'em like he sees 'em! When Dean called to "Kill the Bill,"

he made the right call. It's even more true today than it was this time yesterday.

Now instead of looking like we're driving the agenda, we now have to share the car with the whiny Pukes in the back seat.

13. Howard Dean

principled and courageous.
