Dean closing in on the inevitable

by Jerome Armstrong, Thu Feb 03, 2005 at 08:23:40 AM EST

Howard Dean is almost there:
                   Endorsements         Percentage (50% +1 needed)
Howard Dean        215                  48
Donnie Fowler      13                   3
Simon Rosenberg    4                    1
Tim Roemer         4                    1
So Dean will be closing the deal today or tomorrow, and there most likely will be a voice vote that confirms Dean is the Chair on Feb 12th. What else is there to say?

That 2004 proved we can't win a base war?
That Dean won't bring any moderates or independents to our party?

That after we get our asses kicked in 06 we'll hopefully learn not install pundits as political strategists for our party?

Re: That 2004 proved we can't win a base war?
That people like you need to sit on the bench so that real players can get in the game who actually want to win?

That Democrats do a worse job wooing the Republican Base than Republicans while Americans against illegal wars just have to bite the bullet?

Just curious

So here's a question.  Now that Dean appears to have wrapped up this whole DNC thing, will TNR reprise it's cover from when Pelosi took the helm in the House?

Re: Just curious
Its good bye wildnerness, hello Howard! TNR won't change its cover spots, but its most recent on-line issue, amazingly enough, has a quite good tracking of the Reform vs Establishment camps in the DNC Chair race. For once, it actually reports on the shortcomings of Dean's competitors instead of focusing on some foam coming from Howard's lips. Best of all for me, pretty new to this site, is that MyDD, Chris and other bloggers are given their due on this one. YYYYyyyyEEEEeeeeSSSSssss.

Here is a link....

It is a good article which gives the bloggers their due..as well as provides many laughs at the expense of various people who are having trouble adjusting to new politics.

Ryan Lizza is one of their better writers.

Re: Here is a link....
It is a very good article, Ryan's been tagging along during the whole race, I met him down in Orlando while Matt Stooler and I were doing the exit polling,  we had a good laugh. Reading through the piece, it seems rather remarkable, what's transpired, and Lizza captured some of the moments.

Victory
We shall now declare victory.  The netroots won and will now shape the Democratic Party.  He has 48% right now, and will probably get over 50% tomorrow.  The Democatic Party is truly the party of the people by involving the blogosphere so much in the choice.  I am happy that we didn't have this decided in a smoke- filled room the way that Carville would like.  The status- quo Dems tried as hard as they could to stop Dean, but they failed.

Dean has his work cut out for him.
Dean has the base behind him.

He needs to keep moderates in the party and reach out to independents and even some reasonable Republicans.

Head of the DNC is a MUCH better position for Dean than the Presidential nominee. Dean can provide the message and momentum without being the face of the party. Fairly or not, he tends to scare people off. He may bark too loud, but better a bark than a whimper.

Dean has got the right idea for the party. I just hope he is the right man to pull it off.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad thing?
I just don't think Dean will play ver y well in the south.

Besides, Gore has Dean in his pocket and this is all abou the 2008 election.  Gore is going to run and expects Dean to help him.  Mark my words!
