Howard Dean
Chairman Dean
Two days after the Red Sox historic sweep in last year’s World Series, I said only half-jokingly to a friend, “I think there’s still a way they could lose this thing.”
It was a similar feeling to one I had over the past few days… could Howard Dean really be the next DNC chair? It was […]
Rosenberg out, endorses Dean - that’s the ballgame
Over at his website, Simon Rosenberg has announced:
Effective today, I am ending my campaign for chair of the Democratic National Committee. I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to share my vision with Democrats around the country, and I remain encouraged by the depth and thoughtfulness DNC members have brought to this important […]
Dean DNC Chair Update
Been really busy with work stuff the past few weeks, and have been pretty silent on the local political scene. I find it interesting that Illinois Democratic Party Chair Mike Madigan is now on the record as endorsing Howard Dean. (Kind of late to the party, but better late than never: on Monday, he was […]
Phone call with Howard Dean
I got invited to participate in a conference call hosted by BlogPAC with Howard Dean today; the call was on the record, and was focused on his run for DNC chair. Markos, Jerome, Aldon, Zephyr, and Anna were a few of the attendees, I’m sure they’ll have reports up shortly as well.

Here’s why: boiled down, his campaign’s theme was that the people, and not the government, have the power. Responsibility comes with power, and he saw individuals as holding responsibility for their own decisions. He’s a fiscal conservative, he […]
One year ago today
One year ago today:
“Being here makes you feel like it can happen. We can shock the world.”
In an odd twist of fate, I’m traveling this week and needed to borrow an office that had Internet access today. So I swung by the downtown-DC office of Echo Ditto, the consulting firm started by Nicco Mele, Jim […]
Yahoooooo, yeaaaaaaaargh - what’s the difference?
Check this out, perhaps the funniest thing I’ve heard in months.
Kudos to the Governor for planting his tongue firmly in his cheek and, well, not taking himself too seriously.
Classic.
Joe Trippi book signing
Just got back from Chicago, where I got to see Joe Trippi speak about his book, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Rumor had it I’m actually mentioned in the book, and sure enough, there I am. Twice, even!
I drove Joe to the airport after the book signing, figured it would be a good chance […]
