Reply #42: Dean won't get the chairmanship

[paulk]

it will be like the primaries - his supporters all screaming and yelling and the internet echo chamber will make it seem ... a lot bigger than it really is. the people who actually vote on this are pretty level headed - they'll make their decisions based on real world political criteria - like who can run a campaign - who can raise money, who can run a large, nationwide organization that appeals to more than one wing of the party, etc.

The only thing Dean has going for him is name recognition. He ran a horrible campaign - he squandered 40 million dollars and a thirty point lead. He's a divisive, polarizing figure - not the person we need to unite the party.

Dean did one thing right - he used the internet to raise money and get his message out. Oh - wait... that was Joe Trippi's idea. And Trippi just endorsed Rosenberg.
