*Full Disclosure* My comments and past diaries will confirm that I'm a past Dean supporter, but no longer. And I am not sure about his candidacy for DNC Chair. Therefore, take what I have to say with a grain of salt.
*Full Disclosure*
A party operative spoke with Dean recently, and left the conversation thinking Dean wasn't entirely convinced that he wanted the position. It wasn't that he was ambivalent, the source indicates Dean seemed to still be feeling things out. This was a recent conversation, so I'm not sure what to make of it.
It has also been recently alleged that several of the DNC Chair candidates know absolutely nothing about the process of being elected.
