1. I don't think Dean will have a role in this administration
He'll be put out to pasture in some university role as a professor.

2. I agree with you. Howard has first hand knowledge of how the
health care system is not working, and he also has a number of years successfully working with getting public support for things. I was no Daschel fan, even when he was the majority leader. Way too wet noodle for me!

3. Do you really think that the Senators will not approve their own
and would prefer an outsider with a reputation of a loose canon?

4. Well, I wouldn't put it past the Dems
to once again fuck up.

After all, it was Dean's 50-state strategy that got us where we are now. And the DNC just laid off 200 field organizers I heard. If that is true, once again the Dems are going to demonstrate how good they are at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Loose cannon or genius?

5. Dean is too honest re financial matters. Daschle will be good company for Geithner. nt
Yes I am disgusted with millionaire tax cheats.

8. Rahm doesn't like Dean
even if Dachle's nomination were to fail i don't think they would replace him with Dean.
