Jim Dean for Bernie

[greymouse]

I was surprised to see that Jim Dean was at the opening of the RI Bernie office, because I know Howard supports Hillary. Surprise, Jim is for Bernie. He also said elsewhere:

Dean and I discussed his relationship with his brother, former Vermont Governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean, who, as some of you may know, endorsed Clinton early in her campaign. While not talking about his bother specifically, Dean said that he thinks many who endorsed Clinton early on now regret it, as the energy and momentum is clearly with Sanders. Dean did say that he went to his brother early in the process, though, promising that, whoever the membership of DFA voted to support, the organization would run a positive campaign and eventually back the Democratic nominee. (When DFA’s one million members were asked who they wanted to support in the primary, 87.5% of respondents indicated Sanders.)

1. Good to know.

2. Mutual Respect Among Brothers

Howard wants the organization which he created to be as democtratic as possible. To wit, when the Democracy For America voting took place last year to poll members on the question of endorsing, the extent of his involvement was to write an email to all members explaining his support of Hillary. The whole process was fair and balanced.

When Sanders won the member poll in an historic landslide, Jim went all in for Sanders and has remained all in. The opening of the RH HQ is pleasant news but not a surprise in any way.

4. Amen to that! He'd be an awsome DNC Chair

When his brother was running for same position, I met him when he came to Sacramento. Really does look like Howard. I hope he's quit smoking.
