Are You Sad to See Howard Dean Leave Public Life?
Howard Dean is leaving his post as Democratic National Committee Chairman with great successes under his belt — he helped propel Democrats to victories across the country in 2006 and 2008 with technological and fundraising innovations. Dean's resume, which includes family doctor in Vermont, Governor of Vermont, and a once-front running presidential candidate, was not enough to get him a spot in the Obama administration. And in his current job as head of the Democratic Party, Dean will be replaced by VA Gov. Tim Kaine.
When asked by the AP about not being asked to join the team, Dean said:
Obviously, it would have been great. But it's not happening and the president has the right to name his own Cabinet, so I'm not going to work in the government it looks like.
Instead, Dean will hit the speech and consulting circuit, sharing his successful ideas. Do you wish Dean would keep working in politics?
