Howard Dean won the chairmanship of the national Democratic Party over the weekend and quickly began looking for a home in Washington.
"This is really goodbye to Vermont, for now. There's lots of work to do," Dean told supporters.
Eyebrows were raised after it was revealed that Dean's wife, Judy, will not be joining her husband in his move.
"She has a career as a doctor, her patients require her attention," said one Dean friend.
The Deans will join the growing ranks of "commuter marriages," with both partners living in different locations.
Developing...
Where's Monica?
There's nothing like Democrat family values to warm the cockles of your heart.
I wonder if like Hillary, she is a "Wife", and not a Wife.
Know what I mean?
Except that Dean's wife apparently does something productive for a living.
I'm impressed that his wife even acknowledges being married to him.
Would any woman married to Howard Dean pass up the opportunity for him to move AWAY? Deans wife seemed like a very nice lady who happens to be married to a JERK.
HD:"YEEEEEEEE--Huh??"
I'm not going to rip into Dean's wife or his relationship with her. She is not aspiring to be president. She, from what I can tell, was rather reluctant to even be dragged into a TV interview. She works as a doctor and has her own career. Unless she starts getting involved in politics, IMO she should not be part of the political discussion.
How you gonna keep him down on the farm, after he's seen DC?
As opposed to those marriages where only one partner lives in a different location.
she is a physician also and seems she does practice unlike her hubby
I just heard Bill Clinton scream, "YYYyyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!!!!"
Howie's wife seems like a very nice, sharp and talented person. Let's not tar her just because of her spouse. I couldn't stand living in the DNC political cesspool either.
Hahaha, funny that between the two of them, DEAN is the screamer!
I don't think she does.
I don't know about now, but I do know, she used to practise under her maiden name.
agreed...
Can't really blame her. Why would any successful woman want to give up her career as a doctor only to move to DC and live among that nest of DNC vipers. Sounds to me like that she has a lot more common sense than her husband...
I agree. Leave the woman alone. She married a wealthy Doctor and wound up with a lunatic politician.
