Howard Dean Leads DNC Chairman Race

[sueh]

Hi, All

Found this story and link at Buzzflash. A poll has been conducted among the DNC members allowed to vote for chair. Not all members have participated in this poll, but I thought you might be interested.

Here's the link:

1. I hope that's true!

Dean as DNC would be a HUGE step forward for the Democrats.

[bkcc]

2. That would be great news.

And we could all use some.

[Pam-Moby]

3. I hope Dean wins.... n/t

[aquart]

4. Who counts the votes?

[Forever Free]

5. Hmm...good news

Hopefully, Dean will get the chairmanship and we can get back on track.

[budkin]

6. HELL YEAH!

Dean is the man! He needs to be the DNC chair if this party is truly going to fight back against these neocon pricks.

[Vidar]

7. Hope it's true and that diebold isn't involved.

[Democrat Dragon]

8. How are party chairmans picked/elected?

[OSheaman]

9. I think he'd be great

[Lefty48197]

10. Damn it! This can't be true! I'll abandon the Dem party if we don't elect

Jim Blanchard as DNC chairman!
Okay, just kidding. I'll support whoever wins the vote. I don't feel that our entire future rides on one vote.

11. I love Dean, but don't think he's right for the DNC Chair

[renaissanceguy]

20. Yes he is.

If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have done as well as we did in November. He spoke out against the war when it was unpopular to do so. He is a true progressive moderate. He has balanced the budget in VT. He is well-liked in VT. His organizing and fundraising skills are phenomenal. And he stands his ground.

12. God Help Us

Dean DNC chairman....Meh!!!

God help us all!!!

[Zebulon]

13. I'll admit that I don't have a real strong preference

but I'd be interested in seeing what Dean could do in that position.

[PresidentObama]

14. I'm not interested......

Ken Mehlman compared to Howard Dean...hmmmm gee I wonder...I wish Carville would run!

15. wonderful news

[Polemonium]

16. Dean for DNC chair is the only way forward

Dean has convinced a few million people that he is listening to them. As a recent state chair was quoted as saying, "No one else has done that", refering to the idea that she thought Dean was actively listening to her. Can we turn our back on that kind of belief?

[bkcc]

17. Is there any way to support his candidacy?

I plead ignorance on this. I know we can't vote for him, but how do we affect the outcome?

[SCDem]

18. I see that you live in NY

Here are your DNC members... you can write to them and ask that they vote for Dean... or if they have another in mind and he does not make it to the next round that their second vote is for Dean.

21. Who runs the National Ledger?

I'm not certain the Deaniacs will see it that way. After defeat after defeat, the angry left is desperate for a victory, and this race is turning into an ideological battle. At some point, mainstream democrats had better get serious, or Howard Dean and his band of activists will be running the Democratic Party.

Can Dean Supporter do any worse that the DNC leaders of the past eight years?
