2008 Presidential Election
Howard Dean announced his candidacy for the Chair of the Democratic National Committee yesterday. Here's the text of his announcement. Denver Democrats must feel like they are in a alternate universe where Wellington Webb is squaring off against Howard Dean.
Meanwhile Dean's old campaign manager, Joe Trippi, is endorsing Simon Rosenburg according to a Curious Stranger. The Stranger writes, "I hope Trippi is endorsing Rosenberg because he honestly believes he's the best candidate, and not because he's a bit bitter towards Dean. I'm sure there will be plenty of stories appearing in the near future explaining away this endorsement, but if it is heartfelt, this is a real coup for Rosenberg."
Update:TalkLeft: "I've now participated in blogger conference calls with both Simon Rosenberg and Howard Dean. They are my two favorite candidates for Chair of the DNC. Both appreciate the importance of grass roots activism and the ability of the Internet to empower people and bring them into the political process. Both emphasize the importance of diversity and the politics of inclusion. Both stress the need to focus on local and state political races and organizations."
