Howard Hears a Woo-Hoo!

Howard Dean's last challenger for the
Chairmanship of the Democratic
National Committee, ex-congressman
Tim Roemer dropped out of the race, l
eaving Dean as the next de facto head
of the DNC. The battle was an interesting
proxy war for the battle over where the
Democrats will go forward from their
electoral defeat in November. Unlike
other critics, I think Dean's imminent
take-over of the party apparatus is a
good thing for the Democrats and the country.
