Don Fowler, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Wednesday endorsed U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York for president in 2008. Fowler is the husband of Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the S.C. Democratic Party. “It is imperative that America elect a Democrat in 2008,” Fowler said. Fowler said Clinton understands the U.S. government better than anyone else in the race and the challenges facing the middle class after seven years of the Bush Administration. Don Fowler was national party chairman under President Bill Clinton from 1995 to 1997 and is a close friend of the Clintons. Carol Fowler was elected S.C. state chairwoman in April. Don Fowler remains a member of the Democratic National Committee and a superdelegate to the party’s convention in Denver in August 2008.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Fowler Donald L. Fowler (born 1935) served as National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1995 to 1997. (Christopher J. Dodd served as "General Chairman" during this same period.) Fowler is a political science professor and businessman from South Carolina who has spent most of his adult life in various Democratic Party roles, including state party executive director, state party chair, and CEO of the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta.[1] Prior to the 1984 Democratic National Convention, he was appointed by party chairman Paul G. Kirk, Jr. to chair the "Fairness Commission," one of many Democratic commissions created to reform the presidential nomination process. Fowler's Fairness Commission banned winner-take-all districts in primaries and caucuses, expanded the reach of the 15% threshold rule, and increased the number of convention superdelegates from 568 in 1980 to 650 in 1988. Fowler's term as National Chairman included the 1996 presidential election between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. As national chairman, Fowler ran the party's day-to-day operations, but Christopher Dodd, the general chairman, served as the party's public face. The two co-chair positions were established several times by President Clinton from 1995-2001, although the roles are usually combined. After Clinton's re-election, Fowler was accused of contacting the CIA about a businessman, Roger Tamraz, who had donated money to the Democratic party. His answer to questions from the US Senate about this was, "I have in the middle of the night--high noon--late in the afternoon--early in the morning, every hour of the day, for months now searched my memory about conversations with the CIA. And I have no memory, no memory of any conversation with the CIA." Fowler was never formally charged of any wrongdoing. Fowler remains active in Democratic politics as a member of the DNC. Following the 2006 midterm elections, in response to James Carville's call to remove Howard Dean as chair, Fowler e-mailed his fellow DNC members, saying, "Some ill-advised voices have suggested that, because of his 50-state strategy, Governor Dean should be replaced as Chair of the DNC. This is nonsense. The 50-state strategy is exactly what the Democratic Party needed and continues to need.... Democrats won a great victory on November 7 -- control of the United States House of Representatives, control of the United States Senate, majority of Governors, and majority of state legislative bodies. Why should anyone want to mess with the team that won these remarkable results? Governor Dean deserves to continue as DNC Chair."[2] Fowler earned a degree in psychology from Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1957 where he had his basketball jersey retired, was president of the student body, and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. For his master’s and doctoral degrees, he attended the University of Kentucky, a pioneering institution in the disciplines of political science and public administration. He has taught public administration and American politics at the University of South Carolina since 1964, and has taught at Wofford from time to time. He is also a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and a graduate of the U.S. Army War College. Fowler and his communications agency have handled state and federal government relations projects for a diverse group of clients. He also has carried out marketing studies, advertising, public relations and marketing programs for national and international clients. Fowler's son, Donnie Fowler, ran unsuccessfully for DNC chair in 2005. In August of 2008, on a flight from the DNC convention from Denver to Charlotte, NC, Fowler commented about an impending hurricane, Gustav, that was projected to make landfall near New Orleans at the time of the start of the Republican National Convention. In the private conversation, surreptitiously taped by conservative blogger Caleb Howe (aka Absentee of Redstate.com), Fowler said, "The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. The timing is — at least it appears now that it’ll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side." Fowler has since apologized and claimed he was merely making a reference to comments made by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell following the September 11 attacks in 2001 though there is no mention of Falwell in the tape[citation needed].
