Like most Americans, I was incredibly frustrated and disappointed in the answers three prominent Democratic candidates for president gave to Tim Russert's question about whether they would remove troops from Iraq by the end of their first term (in 2013).
So here's another question. Would an average citizen like to ask it? How about a smart reporter?
If a Democrat wins the presidency in 2008, will you promise to support the retention of Howard Dean as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee through at least the 2010 election cycle should he wish to continue serving?
Let's find out more about the candidates' management philosophies. Do they support retaining individuals who deliver successful results, as Chairman Dean has? (A Democrat winning the presidency would be another successful election, by definition.) Do they support individuals in positions of power and influence who are strongly identified with the grassroots? Do they recognize "the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party"?
