I'm beginning to wish Dean hadn't run for DNC chair

[cali]

The race to head the DNC is shaping up to be another stupid, bloody battle further splintering the party, and much of the battle is centered around Dean. In no way am I blaming Dean or his supporters. I count myself as one. I simply think it's a fruitless battle. If Dean wins, there will be constant pressure on him from Washington insiders to tow the line they way they want it towed. In other words, the battle will continue. That's not beneficial to anyone. For whatever reasons, there's a strong antipathy towards Dean in Washington. It'll cripple his ability to reform the party. Whoever heads the DNC needs to be able to work with the power brokers and the grassroots. I'm not convinced he can do that.

Flame away.
