8. Democrats Elect Howard Dean As Chairman/Link

The 447-member Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chose Dean on a voice vote to replace outgoing party chief Terry McAuliffe. The former Vermont governor and presidential candidate had promised to rebuild the state parties, take the offensive against Republicans, and better explain party positions on issues.

Democrats are eager to renew their campaign to regain political power, though some admit to a bit of anxiety. President Bush (news - web sites) just won his second term. Republicans are firmly in control of the House and the Senate. And the GOP is gaining strength in conservative states in the South and West.

9. Dean just used the E word!

Bu$h's budget "brings Enron style accounting to the nation's capitol". The Cabal is going to hate this new mantra "Republicans cannot be trusted with the taxpayer's money".

10. WAR ON!

So begins second War Between The States begins. I'm ready...

[Syrinx]

40. I seriously doubt Chairman Dean said that

Nor do I think he would approve of that approach. In fact, it's just the opposite of what he stands for.

[rocktivity]

41. You took me too literally

I said "War On," not Dean. and leveling the playing field with the Rethugs is going to take no less than full-scale, hand-to-hand combat. Not with bullets and bombs, but with ideas and strategies and belief in ourselves.

When I say, "I'm ready," I mean that I'm ready to write letters to the editors, join local get out the vote efforts, donate to candidates, call out Christian right hypocracy, protest Bush's rich-get-richer schemes. Oh, we're at war, all right!

14. I'm so excited!!

Go Dean!!

[Enraged_Ape]

15. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Page has been apoplectic about this

They are absolutely beside themselves that the Democrats would do something so "outrageous" and "foolish" as appoint the "screamer" to head the party.

Although their deep concern is truly touching, it only proves that THIS IS THE GREATEST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN!! YAYY, DEAN!!

[zara]

24. Truer words were never spoke.

[progressiveandproud]

56. Bless your heart.

If the WSJ editors are sniping at Dean, that tells me a lot.

Did you know that the WSJ editorial page endorsed the so-called "Healthy Forests Initiative", claiming it would help the environment?

Anyway, if the corporate fascists are going berserk, I'm onboard: GO HOWARD!

30. You cracked me up

because same here....mine's been there since last Februray!


This is a great day for America the beautiful. God shed his light on thee.
Not that religious but I feel like saying a payer for this country. With the checks and balances built into the constitution completely in the can, who would have thought that the chairman of the DNC would bring our country back to reason?

Anybody hear know Joseph Campbell's heroic quest cycle? We just exited the belly of the beast, the heart of darkness, and are on our way to
BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK!

aloha DU!

[ananda]

72. Hallelujia!

«Anybody hear know Joseph Campbell's heroic quest cycle? We just exited the belly of the beast, the heart of darkness, and are on our way to
BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK!»

Thank God/dess!

I just gave money to the DNC, and I ALWAYS knew that Dean was electable!

Hurray!

32. Funny. I bought a bottle of Veuve Cliquot on Nov. 2, too.

When the early returns were in and things were looking good. Sad to say, I never opened it.

[rocktivity]

17. But remember, Dean is only the general...

and generals are only as good as their troops.

Political parties are led by politicians, but they're made up of people like us. We got into this situation because too many of us became apatheic and lazy. More than two hundred years ago, someone figured out that the price of freedom in enternal vigilance. Enternity starts now.

Not only do we need to take the country back...WE NEED TO TAKE THE MEDIA BACK. Otherwise, Dean and Dems are toast.

[Cha]

64. Yes, you are so right! And I think Dr.

Dean realizes that!

[lojasmo]

63. Perhaps the best thing to happen within the democratic party EVER!

We now have the power to take our party back from the faction that wants to run right.

WOOOOOOOT

[RetroLounge]

65. Tomorrow is my birthday

and I'll take this as my present!

By the way, I am 44 tomorrow, hardly one of them young kids that the MSM says follow Dean.

The Doctor is in!

Woohoo.

[mdmc]

76. Ho HO !!!

DNC! DNC! DNC!

[llmart]

77. THE DOCTOR IS IN!!!!!!!!!

It felt good to say that phrase again! I voted for him in the primaries and gave him more money than I've ever given a candidate in my close to 56 years. I've had several solicitations in the mail from the DNC and a phone call last night and I turned them down and told them why. When I get the next solicitation or phone call I WILL DONATE again and I will also tell them why!

GREAT NEWS FOR THE DEMS THAT ARE WITH US. FOR THE DEMS LIKE LIEBERMAN - BETTER MOVE THE HELL OUTTA THE WAY 'CAUSE YOU ARE SO HISTORY!

[SideshowScott]

78. Great News! Congrats to Dr. Dean and Good Luck

We got your back here at DU. I always liked Dean and thought he would have torn Bush apart.. We dont need Repub-lite we need a Democrat!

[Patiod]

79. Now we can begin the work of nominating Hillary

No! I'm just keeding! (but isn't that what the Freepers/Dittoheads expect us to say?)

I gave him more money than Clark (my first choice) or Kerry. Now I'm starting to see that as a very wise investment in the future of our party.

As someone said "the doctor is IN"

:party:

[paineinthearse]

80. Congratulations!!!!

Now what do we call him? Chairman Governor Howard Dean, M.D.?

[DearAbby]

84. What a wonderful day! Just what the DOCTOR ordered!

Go Dean...We have your back. Support this guy with everything you have DU'ers. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

81. Big Kick!! Go Dean!! n/t

[progressivebydesign]

82. How cool is that??????????

I LOVE Howard Dean because the media is going to take notice of him. While other candidates were worth, Dean is a lightning rod for the media attention, and they'll print every damn word he says.. because he says things with such candor. I donated a little bit to the DNC to let them know we're finally on the right track!

I mean.. who do we all trust to take on that buffoon Bush? Some cheerleader type in an expensive suit living the same life as the people he's supposed to be taking on? or a guy who prefers Levis and kayaks in his spare time in Vermont?

[Pastiche423]
