  • Thank you for voicing my concern.

    I have been waiting for Governor Dean to have some role in Obama's administration and am dsappointed for Dean's being snubbed by his own party, the Obama administration particularly.

    If anything, Dean represents the best of the Democratic Party. As far as I am concerned, even better than Obama. He is a proven administrator in Vermont. He is a hard-working, sincere and no-nonsense public servant.

    Dean has worked so hard for the past several years for the party. It is time to recognize his dedication and reward his loyalty.

    Where is the fairness in the Obama administration?

    If Dean will not be recognized by Obama administration, Obama will lose much of his appeal to me.

    As far as I am concerned, Dean is being treated unfairly.

  • Thank you sincerely for this article. I am missing Mr. Dean too! Please share with us anything you learn about his future plans.

    I recently performed a Google search on Mr. Dean and found a lot of Republicans, including TheNextRight.com, talking about him and pondering about how to incorporate his strategy and technology into the RNC. But I found no website or blog.

    I could see how he might need an extended and well deserved vacation. Fighting the status quo (Pelosi, Reid, Emanuel) was probably draining and frustrating. Thank all that might be holy or sacred he did not abandon us.
