Since Howard DEan isn't a senator and it has been repeatedly pointed out that he is not the head of the party but rather the chief fund raiser I find myself unable to care what he thinks about the next nominee.

Some groups are going to oppose the nominee no matter what (like NARAL) so their "opinion" doesn't mean much.

He actually isn't doing a good job of raising money.
