7. Dean is unpredictable
I remember a comment from a Republican strategist during the primaries, and I suspect it holds true for the DNC chair. He commented that he would much prefer Kerry take the nomination than Dean. He believed that the Republican victory over Kerry would be much narrower than it would be over Dean, but also more certain.

In other words, he preferred a closer match that he could control, over one that had a much greater potential upside and downside.

Take that for what you will as far as the DNC chair goes. Dean still comes with a pretty high degree of unpredictability. For good and bad...
