Its not a done deal yet, but I would say its pretty much garanteed Dean is the new DNC head.  Its going to be a rough four years for the republicans.  A Dean win is only going to further energize the DNC base.  Dean already has 600,000 people supporting him through Democracy for America (his grassroots political organization) and he has been pretty much lying low since the presidential election.  Either way, republicans would be foolish to underestimate both passion and energy of those supporting Dean.

Personally I think its a good thing.  I supported Wesley Clark over Dean during the 2003 primaries, but I respect Dean and appreciate his ideas.   

Over course Tom Delay was quick to offer unsurprisingly immature response:

"After 10 years, you wonder if Democrats are running out of ways to say no," said Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the house majority leader. "But then again, if they make Howard Dean the party chairman, I guess you could scream it."

Machiavelli:
NO. The DNC needs a moderate canidate like Wesely Clark or Joe Liberaman.  Dean is the exact opposite.

The majority of Americans are Moderate to Conservatives, Extreme Liberals are the minority.

Then you should be happy since you support the conservative side of american.  By the way, do you recall conservative america telling us that Tupac Shakur's music has "no place in american society."  During Bush I's term the conservatives tried to ban 2pacalypse Now from being released.   

Real American:
As a staunch Republican, this news is great. Dean is so far left that he is way out of touch with the rest of America. Hopefully he will continue to take the democratic party to the left wing and the Republicans will keep piling up election victories.



Oh yeah, the campaign in the 1980's and 1990's to ban certain types of music was headed by Tipper Gore, the wife of Al Gore.

Woodrow:
Can't Wait!
