Dean To Step Down As DNC Chairman
« on: November 10, 2008, 03:00:37 PM »
Howard Dean is preparing to step down as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Dean, a physician and former Vermont governor who was briefly his party's presidential front-runner in 2004, was elected DNC chairman in 2005 and has long vowed to serve only one, four-year term. At a post-election news conference in Washington last week, Dean indicated again that he didn't plan to stay on.

While some speculated that Dean's work with Barack Obama's campaign might lead him to stick around for a second term, aides confirmed he plans to leave when his term expires in January.

DNC Secretary Alice Germond told FOXNews.com that Dean was already expected to limit himself to one term, though he hasn't made any formal announcements.

"Whoever is chair has historically done it for one term," she said. "I think there was already an assumption that (Dean would) be moving on to something."

President-elect Obama, a Democrat, was expected to choose Dean's successor. Traditionally, the president selects the national chairman of his own party.

Maybe Dr. Howard Dean, pediatrician, will go back to slapping newborns on the butt after his tenure is complete.  :whatever:

Good point.  :bow:  You mean they don't deliver babies that have u cords wrapped around their throats? Breach births? WTF do they do if they don't do these things???

Maybe as Chair of the DNC he's BEEN slapping newborns on the butt for the past 4 years and decided it was time to give it up.

Because given The Rookie's already displayed for hiring the most partisan Libs in D.C. for his staff...what I said above is completely and highly likely.

Hey, how come Howie Dean wasn't in the spotlight during the last month of the election?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
