Hillary didn't have anything to do with Deans election as DNC chairman. He wasn't going away... he wanted it... and the Deaniac's and MoveOn types required 'pay-back' for all their time & money. Hillary would've rather had Ickes or even Webb... proven Clinton fornicator's.

In a way... Dean is like a McCain Democrat... a hot-head maverick. The WaPost has been critical of him lately and this may be the signal of an early exit... as DNC chairman. But make no misake... he won't just fade away like a good old-soldier. The activist base of the Party needs him... they thought Kerry was too CONSERVATIVE and they think the same of Hillary.

BTW... Vermont has a Senate opening in 2006.

Dean running for senator would really surprise me. IMO, he isn't interested in any job where he isn't the top dog on the totem pole.

Yes. . .and Hillery will come riding in on her broom and appear "moderate" to all those rats (and the non-thinking voting public). She will save the rat party from itself. . .to make her appear moderate they need a goon like Dean.
