1. None. As head of the DNC he's got to stay neutral. Or did you expect something else?
He will endorse whoever the party nominates, though.

3. Did the guy before Dean - Terry McAluff ?? - let it be know who he was pulling for - even if it was
not an official endorsement? I can't remember.

5. No, certainly not publically. They have to at least appear neutral. It's part of the
job description.

2. The nominee...
As head of the DNC he cannot endorse anyone prior to that.

6. The eventual nominee.
Howard's ethics would not allow him to lead a Party and not back the nominee.

10. Should the head of the DNC be endorsing anyone?
That doesn't seem like it would be ethical or proper, and I would think it would run the risk of alienating many people, which would not be good for DNC fundraising.

I'm guessing he will endorse the winner of the primaries. :shrug:

11. Whomever wins at the convention
He won't endorse anyone before then. The Party has to remain neutral.

12. He doesn't have to wait until the convention
We will most likely have a "presumptive nominee" by early spring.
