I'm actually pretty pleased that Dean will be party chairman. Most of the "normal" Dems I know (the Joe Lieberman/Zell Miller types) are really upset about this situation. They were also pissed as hell that Robert Byrd was so vocal against Condi.

Lieberman was one of the Dems that was consistently applauding tonight and standing w the pubbies, even when some of the Dims weren't - I have to give him a lot of credit (just wished he hadn't switched when he was running w Gore - but the Kool Aid seems to have been flushed from his system and he's his old self again now).
They're also now pissed at Kennedy/kerry and boxer...It may be that the old line dems are waking up to the fact that they've been overrun by socialists.
If they decide that they'll be in trouble with the people - even dems who are waking up - there may be a real split in the dem party: the old liners versus the socialists.
This would be perfect, as there wouldn't be enough on either side to bother us for decades.
Maybe the old liners could rebuild the real democrat party - which would be good - but still take decades to catch up to us.
