There is already rumblings that Dean may do whatever it takes to hurt Hillary's chance at gaining the Democratic nomination for President in 2008. This comes from the speculation that Bill Clinton had a lot to do with the demise of the Dean campaign in his attempt to secure the Democratic nomination last year.
If Howard Dean is selected to chair the DNC, the Democratic candidate in 2008 is finished, regardless of who it is. Dean is the last person the Dems want running things if ever they hope to win anything again. He is the personification of the radical Left in this country...an image the Dems need to run screaming from in order for their party to survive.
