SNIP..."Former presidential candidate Howard Dean, who's in the running to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee, held what he called an Un-auguration party in Burlington, Vermont. "The darkest hour is before the dawn. We've had our darkest hour - January 20, 2001," said Dean, surrounded by his political supporters. "It's all uphill from here, baby."

Gov. Dean appears at 'Un-auguration'

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) -- Former Gov. Howard Dean addressed about 250 supporters last evening at an event his political organization billed an "Un-auguration" to counter the inauguration of President George W. Bush.

Quoting from what he said was a Crosby Stills & Nash song, Dean told the crowd " 'The darkest hour is before the dawn. We've had our darkest hour' January 20, 2001."

Dean is a candidate to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

"It's all uphill from here, baby," Dean told the audience of supporters old and new.

"I don't know what's going to happen. Everybody says, 'yeah, you're doing great. You're way ahead.' And I've heard that song before," said Dean as the audience roared.

2. I wonder how he really feels inside, does he sense/know that he

will not get Chair. "I don't know what's going to happen. Everybody says, 'yeah, you're doing great. You're way ahead.' And I've heard that song before," said Dean as the audience roared.

3. He's leery, just like his supporters.

Fortunately, he doesn't need this job, though the Democrats need him, whether they realize it now or not.
