In reply to the discussion: Wish we could get Howard Dean back to run our party again [View all]Saboburns
(2,807 posts)39. Watching how Democrats and the Dem Party torpedoed Dean for the "Dean scream" was quite a lesson
For me 20ish years ago. I loved Howard Dean then, I loved when he headed the DNC, and I love the guy still. IMHO Howard Dean is/was the best Democratic political candidate, with the best and brightest future, since John F. Kennedy. An absolute Progressive star, likable, fantastic speaker, wise and intelligent. Did I mention a true Progessive?
And he was cut down in less than a week, by Democrats in the Party, for Yeehawing at one of his raucus campaign rallies.
Goddamn right I'm still bitter.
