Good morning . . .
The Democrats did it. They actually did it. It was a sure bet, the Democratic National Committee elected former presidentail also-ran Howard Dean as its new chairman.
Deam who is best known for the collapse of his presidential effort after "the scream" was elected on a voice vote Satiurday. Any sign of competition or other candidates slowly drifted away during the last week before the DNC's winter conference.
Is this a Respublican's dream or the final downfall of the Democratic Party? It could be both. While Dean is an excellent fundraiser, his caustic comments often reflect badly on him and the party. Plus fundraising can only get you so far. Just ask Terry McAuliffe. Is Dean too left for mainstream Democrats? Yes. His anti-war, Bush-bashing campaign was worse, if possible, than John Kerry's.
Will the Democrats gain seats in the 2006 mid-term election? No, in fact, they will lose more. With few exceptions all Democratic seats in the Senate are vulnerable.
