Reply #17: Many Dean supporters have been very willing to cover Dean

[DFLforever]

often to the disgust of other DUers who consider themselves the 'true progressives' of the board.

I support Dean for DNC chair because of his vision for the party, and because I think he is capable of being the best party builder, especially in terms of party infrastructure in the 50 states.

I don't really expect him to go on TV and defend the votes of all 40+
Dem Senators. No doubt a few like Timmy will try it out, though.

As a Deaniac I tend to trust Dean to not say what he doesn't believe, nor be goaded into saying something he prefers not to say. Witness his stumping for Kerry.

That said, the governor is a very practical, pragmatic man. Don't you recall all the bitching from DU idealists about his record in Vt?
