It's Official

CNN.com :

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean took the helm of the Democratic National Committee on Saturday, vowing, 'Today will be the beginning of the re-emergence of the Democratic Party.' Dean, 56, won the chairmanship on a voice vote of the 447-member committee after six other candidates dropped out in recent weeks. He immediately laid out his vision for rebuilding a party clobbered in recent elections, leaving it out of power in the White House, both chambers of Congress, and a majority of governorships.
I suspect Dean will be a better DNC chair than many Republicans expect. I also think he will be worse than many Democrats suspect. Strengths: Grass Roots Popularity, Many Moderate Position, Great Credibility with Anti-War left. Weaknesses: Questionable ability to Budget for a Campaign, Prone to Gaffes, Perhaps too much personality for a job that should remain behind the scenes. One thing is sure though, it should be interesting to watch.

I think that this will be a Scream.
