(60,331 posts)I've known Howard for about 15 years, from before he ever ran for president. But I can't very well go posting his cell phone or email on a blog. That would be the end of both his privacy and our friendship, and there aren't a whole lot of people I can both jam on Leo Kottke guitar tunes AND discuss national politics with.
If it helps, he has taken the stance that he is not going to get into a fight with other like-minded Democrats for the DNC chairmanship. if asked by the DNC, he will do it. But he had to fight tooth and nail for the post in 2004, and he's just not interested in going through that again. No one thinks he has to prove he knows how to do the job. The only question is whether Democrats want experience or want to try someone new. Howard is perfectly willing to let the party make that decision without pressure from him, and is cool with abiding by that decision.
