Flouting the rules, DNC Finance Chair raises money for Clinton

38. Howard, we DO miss you so

I remember how Howard Dean was bending over backwards to stay neutral in the Hillary-Obama duel of 2008. He did a very credible job of it, and no partisanship was attributed to him at all at the time. Obama made a huge mistake be letting Rahm Emmanuel exile Howard from any position in the Obama Administration, although I understand the reasoning behind it--Howard was so competent and reasonable, Rahm would have looked like the petulant hothead he is by comparison and probably have been out on his ass within 3 months if Howard's sane voice had been around to be heard.

If Howard would consider coming back to the DNC, we'd all be a LOT better off. He's in a "been there, done that" mindset now, and wants the freedom to do what he wants to do. I know Howard, so I know not to hold my breath. Besides, he told me that when your party holds the White House, the president is the party head, not the national committee chair. He was right, as usual. I don't care. I still want him back.
