Chairman Dean?
It looks like Howard Dean is going to be elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee. This could be an interesting experiment.
A little over a year ago, the former Vermont governor had poked his finger in the eye of the Democratic establishment. He criticized the party leaders for give George Bush a pass on the Iraqi debacle. “I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party,” he told one candidate forum. He rocketed to the top of the polls with an insurgency unparalleled in the party’s history.
But once the voting started, the party dropped him like a bad habit. John Kerry flattened Dean in the primaries. Beat him like a rented mule. They rejected him and ridiculed him. Mostly, the analysts say, they decided that Dean was unelectable.
So now, Howard Dean has wrapped up a successful campaign to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee. I am not a big Howard Dean fan. For my money, he is a little too messianic. He comes across as having all the answers and if you don’t agree with him, you’re not only wrong, you’re stupid.
But if chairman Dean can rekindle the enthusiasm of his insurgency, bringing new participants into the mainstream Democratic Party and generating energy and donations to challenge the Bush agenda, then he could be a real force.
The Democratic National Committee apparatus doesn’t control the national debate. By tradition, the party’s congressional leaders — Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi — will control the Democratic message until the presidential campaign takes over again, after the 2006 mid-term elections. Not the chairman.
Maybe Howard Dean will be different. It would not be a bad thing for the Democrats to have a point person on the anti-Bush message. If Howard Dean can subvert his own 2008 presidential ambitions, which he has promised to do, then he could make an unusual and unusually good party chairman. Stranger things have happened, but not many.
