So, Democratic National Committee power-brokers...

How's that "not fully supporting primary winner Ned Lamont against primary loser/ersatz independent Joe Lieberman in the 2006 Connecticut senatorial election" strategy working out for you?

Cuz it's really not working out for, um, Americans.

2. I think that's partially because Howard Dean was no longer in the driver's seat

7. They don't have to be

They just have to campaign well together. And the Veep post will boost Dean up to the presidency.

He'd be 63 on election day in 2012 and 67 in 2016... getting up there but still able, IMO.
