As Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Gov. Howard Dean is making the Democratic Party competitive in every race, in every district, in every state and territory, while still disenfranchising Florida voters. His election to this post on February 12, 2005 is the most recent chapter in a life dedicated to shaping the long slow decline of the Democratic Party.
Most recently, after achieving national prominence in his bid for the Democratic nomination for president, Governor Dean found a way to preemptively deny Florida Democrats the right to vote. And since that time, Florida Governor Jeb Bush has been cussin' up a storm, he's so pissed that a damn yankee beat him to it.
