MN State DFL’ers (Democrat Farmer-Labor) members are putting their weight be hind Howard Dean to be the new DNC chair. Minnesota has 6 of the 447 votes on the Feb 12 election. Nancy Larson, a DNC voting member said she will vote for Dean because “I appreciate his candor.”<\/p>\n

If Dean takes this election way from the ‘conservative’ members of the DNC it will be a big shift in the role of party chairman. Typically the chairman is at most a consensus builder, but the role of chair is more akin to a “managing partner.” The chair will help keep all of the state folks informed of the party message from Washington and help keep family problems in the “family.”<\/p>\n
I support Howard Dean for DNC chair and I think most Democrats would agree. For too long we’ve been trying to play the Repblican game by their rules. We need create a compling image of Rosevelt’s Four Freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.<\/p>\n
American want to have faith and their leader and believe her when she speaks. If a candidate for office has to convince or tell the American people what ‘I ment was..’ then she’s lost.<\/p>\n
Geo. Bush won the 2004 election becuase Americans couldn’t convice themselves enough to believe in John Kerry. Many were blinded by hatred for GWB that they would vote for anybody who ran for President. I know becuase that is essentially what I did. <\/p>\n
It is time for Dean to pave the way for the new Democrats: Hillary Clinton, Obama, etc cast in the mold of Paul Wellstone and his green bus. Wellstone told Minnesota what he believed in and had a genuine desire to improve the lives of all Minnesotans. If he were alive today he would still be a senator from Minnesota.<\/p>\n
