Howard Dean thrown under the bus by Obama?

Today, President Elect Obama anointed Tim Kaine as the new DNC chief. Someone was missing.
The New York Times asked "Where was Howard Dean?"
MSNBC's First Read says "Obama's transition office insists they aren't snubbing Dean here. But the current chairman's absence is hard to explain away."
At the ceremony, Obama called Dean a "visionary and effective leader" but to me, it felt like a completely empty gesture.
