1. I think this would be the best thing for us
I guarantee you we'd be in fighting mode if we had Dean in charge. I think he's exactly what we need and this is the perfect spot for him.

4. I hope he gets it.
I can't imagine anybody better suited to turning the DNC upside down, getting rid of the dead wood, and engaging the grass roots movements. The DNC just proved itself to be a useless good-ol-boy dinosaur that did a great job helping to lose an election that should have been won.

5. Great idea--he'll get us headlines if nothing else!
The party's only salvation right now is to rebuild itself from the ground up. It needs new leadership, a new attitude, and someone the GOP is genuinely afraid of! The aim now is to the maxium damage we can in 2006.

7. Dean tells it like it is. The DNC needs to try it "our" way for once.
I'd love to see Dean get up there & tell it like it is. GO DOC!

9. I'm divided on this.
Yes, Howard Dean would be the best candidate to rally Democrats and the DNC chair would give him an instant public forum to rally Dems and blast Rethugs, but I would also like him to run again for Prez in 2008. It's his decision to make. We do need someone like him to take our Party back from the DLC clowns who have lost ever major election except Bill Clinton's Prez runs, but I would also want him to be available to start running for Prez in a couple years, unless he thinks there is another better suited for Prez who he can support wholeheartily.

This is a tough decision. I couldn't vote in the CNN poll because I am divided on this issue.

13. I miss his SCREAMMMMMMMM!
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 11:59 AM by Sugarbleus
I think he is the only one, at this point in time, with enough SCREAM in him to do a good job!

That's it, I want my Dems to scream more, SHOW SOME GUTS fercrissakes.

Go Howard!


BTW: has anyone heard Dean doing a radio commerical? I forget the product/service, but he's screaming out the names of states etc. It's too funny..
