As annoying as she is, I love her in that role. Imagine, if you will, that they put somebody competent, coherent and logical in the role. It’s hard to imagine a liberal who is all three and can still profess liberalism without resorting to superiority and snark. But I’m sure that person exists somewhere. My recollection is that John Edwards was a pretty good speaker and had a logical, persuasive mind.

That person was actually Howard Dean. Forget about the “Dean Scream” for a minute. That was just media garbage to hand the Dem nomination to Lurch.
Howard Dean oversaw the Dem’s strategy to win the 2006 and 2008 elections. He was the person that went all out to get the so called Blue Dog Democrats elected. That “50 state” strategy was adopted by Axlerod. I’m pretty sure he was behind the entire movement to get Barky elected vs. the Seawitch.
We all know Dean as a screamer and unhinged ... when he’s on TV being interviewed, he is quite composed and is very adept at delivering a message (not one I agree with, but one none the less). All things being equal, had he run against Bush in 2004, he had a great shot at winning ... certainly better than Kerry.
Why the Dems let him walk away from that position is beyond me. He’s quite tactical. He’s the polar opposite of mayonnaise head.
Mayoskull had to be one of Clinton’s demands of Obama when she decided to concede the Dem nomination to him in 2008. She’s been nothing but a loudmouth mess since the day she took over.
I hope to God the Dems don’t fire her! She’s a walking disaster!
