Dean to Seek Democratic Chairmanship
So
Dean is going to run for chairmanship of the party. I hope he gets it...the position, I mean. I already know he "gets it", see below.
"The Democratic Party needs a vibrant, forward-thinking, long-term presence in every single state," Dean wrote in a letter to members of the Democratic National Committee. "We must be willing to contest every race at every level. We can only win when we show up."
...
"That word - 'values' - has lately become a codeword for appeasement of the right-wing fringe," Dean wrote. "But when the political calculations make us soften our opposition to bigotry, or sign on to policies that add to the burden of ordinary Americans, we have abandoned our true values."
Amen.
