“The infamous Dean scream…may have been the most eloquent moment created by a Democrat all
year. “

This Time, Howard Dean May Really Be the Answer

by  Craig Crawford

It was my favorite quote from the 2004 presidential
campaign, and the man who screamed it is back.

Bring it on, Howard Dean. The former Vermont
governor now wants to run the Democratic Party.

The infamous Dean scream, broadcast nationwide Jan. 19 as he
conceded defeat in the Iowa
caucuses, may have been the most eloquent moment created by a Democrat all
year.

Dean is the perfect choice to salvage
something Democrats can use from the 2004 campaign. Before the party
establishment crushed him in Iowa,
the fast-talking dynamo electrified cadres of newly active Democrats across the
country.

Once again, party gatekeepers in Washington
are fully engaged in a stop-Dean movement…Have the anti-Dean Democrats considered that the best way to
really stop Dean is to let him be chairman? He is flatly vowing not to run for
president in 2008 if he gets the job.
