Here's a thought, why not have Dean for DNC Chairman.
Ok, I know this isn't actually a serious suggestion, and I probably mean someone like Dean rather than Dean himself. But I've been reading the things being said about Dean in the aftermath of Iowa, and most seem to center around the concept that he has a pretty good message, his fundraising and organizational machine are amazing, and he's managed to bring a significant number of new people into the process, unfortunately because of his personality (and last minute tactical decisions i.e. the last set of ads) none of these new people voted for him.
(I'd like to point out that I'm not sure how much I buy all of this line of reasoning, and I still think Dean's fairly viable especially if he does well in NH, and even if he places second.)
But putting aside the fact that he's running for the top spot at the moment, doesn't that description sound like what a party head should be doing? Putting out a strong, unequivicating party line, raising money, raising enthusiasm etc? A person for whom personal likeablility doesn't matter so much as a willingness to sic the dogs on the opposition. Doesn't it seem like for the last year or so Dean has been sorta doing McAuliffe's job for him (i.e. raising interest in the nomination fight and rallying democrats against Bush)
If we had a chairman doing those things, all we'd need is a few basic policy positions that we all agree on and we'd be home free.
