Capitol Hill Democrats may be saying that the chairman of the Democratic National Committee doesn't speak for them, but Democratic activists and rank-and-file members outside the Beltway say they are happy with Dean's no-nonsense approach.
"People outside Washington, D.C., love Howard Dean. He raises money for state parties, he sends money to state parties and he's attacking Republicans. That's what the chair of the party is," said Bob Mulholland (search), a campaign adviser to the California Democratic Party and one of the DNC members who in February voted for the former Vermont governor and 2004 presidential hopeful to become chairman.
"There is overwhelming support for Governor Dean, and [Democrats] say, 'keep hitting them Republicans,'" Mulholland said, adding that he has seen no backlash against Dean since some comments he made about Republicans drew fire in early June. "Since then he's been on the road and getting good crowds."
Eric Davis, a grassroots activist in suburban Chicago who headed Dean's volunteer effort in Illinois during the presidential campaign, said Dean's aggressiveness is why Democrats elected him as their chairman.
"The Republicans have characterized Democrats as a bunch of weenies. Well, guess what? Howard Dean is no weenie," Davis said. "The fact that Beltway types have their bowties in a knot doesn't surprise me. They never got Howard Dean in the first place."

I seem to remember him drawing good crowds right before he crashed and burned in the primaries.
lol. lol. lol. Yesssss! May Mister Dean continue to head the party of losses. It just makes our jobs easier. LOL!!!
Huh?
The only thing that come out of the guys mouth is nonsense.
It amazes me that any human being with any iota of independent thought could possibly take the guy serious.

Exactly. It doesn't say a whole lot for the IQs of all those Deaniacs out there, does it? I suppose they're "out there," because HE's also very OUT THERE!
YEAGH-H-H-HHHHH!
Thanks for your comment, A message!

He ought to be worth a state or two all by himself in '06 and '08!
Ahhh yes, Mr. Howard "I hate everything about Republicans, But Dems should copy them" Dean
The dems don't have a clue
For "rampant and unedited," you did a fabulous job with that quote graphic, Zacs Mom.
It's awesome! Save it for the election cycle. We have to remind potential Dem voters of what this "tin foil hat" has said over time.
Howard Dean is a disgrace to his party and to this nation! Where is St. Patrick, when we need someone to drive out the snakes from our midst?
Char :(
BTW, I think you might be interested in reading a post I just made here.
I love these comments from Bob Mulholland. He is California's version of Howard Dean...a real nutburger.
As do most freak shows.
