Growing Support for Dean

Support for Governor Howard Dean for Chair of the Democratic Party continues to grow.

Today's endorsements are the most recent evidence of the momentum building behind Howard Dean. These individuals—and the many others who have publicly and privately expressed their support—know that Governor Dean is the one candidate running for DNC Chair who has the ability to energize, organize, and fundraise that the Democratic Party needs.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you in New York City this weekend. Stay tuned for more announcements of support in the coming days.

Today, the following people pledged their support for the Governor:

Steven K. Alari - California DNC Committeeman and DNC Executive Committee Member

Jeremy Bernard - DNC Member-at-Large

3. Dean is the clear favorite for DNC chair.
Every poll I've seen shows his popular support. I hope they make it unanimous.....that would send a strong signal to base that they are listening to us.

4. But many DNC members are not voicing support one way or the other
and those are the ones I worry about

I feel like I've done all I can by writing or talking to all my state's DNC members

9. This is great news.
Scuttlebut here is that at least 3 DNC electors are privately pledged to Dean.

11. A lot of good would come out of a Dean chairmanship.
I'm not strongly against the others, but strongly FOR Dean.

We need a good hit of good energy. This is the doctor I want in charge of the party.

12. If the DNC wants any of my money, they'd better have Howard Dean
..at the helm....

I haven't sent them a dime in months...and until liberals get control they won't see anymore...

If I wanted to fund republicans I'd give my money to the GOP....

13. Dean had it sewn up a while ago
One of my highest-ranking party officials (no names, to protect the innocent) said that Dean has about 70% of the vote of DNC delegates.

This thing is his for the taking.
