Perhaps that title was a bit too grandiose. Nevertheless, its good to know that the Dr. is now where he needs to be. On a sidenote, you should go put your two cents into what you want the future of the Democratic party to be; who knows... I actually have a weird feeling that they'll be listening.

More Proof that Howard Dean was the Right Choice

It didn't apply only to people's ability to change America, it also applied concretely to their ability to make everyday decisions about how they would cause that change.

...The idea of a decentralized campaign terrifies most politicians who have gotten used to putting out ideas and letting others respond. We discovered that the path to power, oddly enough, is to trust others with it.
