C'mon, stick with happy thoughts. Let's hope that as obnoxious as he is, and the way he has blown all the DNC money, they keep him for a loooong time.
I think Hillary supported Dean being DNC chair because she was afraid to allow him to run for pres. That is part of the agreement Dean made - DNC chair - he will not run for pres. I don't think Hillary can risk Dean running - especially since it's his "kooks" who appear to be controlling all the money.
Of course .. Dean could resign at the right time and have all that 527 money to run with. If that happens, the dems will be out of power for 50 years instead of 40.
