Democracy For America. That would be a good idea

Howard Dean today gave what his website billed as a major speech at George Washington University. It looks like he wants the DNC job. Or this is the first salvo of the 2008 campaign. I sure hope it's not a campaign for DNC Chair. For one, I would like to see him run again in 2008. And for another, I agree with Ed Kilgore of the DLC (which is funny since he probably doesn't want to see him run in 2008), that Dean would be better served reforming the Democratic Party from outside. That said, it sure would be nice to have a DNC Chair who actually could serve as a spokesman for our Party for the next 4 years. We certainly need one who can speak and be heard. You can read the speech here.
