Another Chance to Scream...

What affect will Howard Dean have on the Democratic Party? I guess only time will tell. I have to wonder about the selection of a very liberal New Englander. They just had one get beaten in the Presidential election and yet they go right back to that model again. Are some of the Democrats so isolated from the rest of the country that they really feel this is the way to go? Howard Dean is a man that lets you know where he stands. He is not a flip flopper like John Kerry and for this I respect him. Will he try to pull the party to the left at the same time Hillary Clinton is working toward the center? What will happen if she enters the Democratic primary? Will the DNC try and pull her to the left? Will more or less money flow in if she stays in the center? Will the Democrats care where she stands on issues and vote blindly for a Democratic candidate regardless of who is on the ticket? I also wonder if this new leadership in the DNC will help or hurt the Congressional and Gubernatorial candidates. In my opinion this is where the Democrats have taken their worst beatings. Even if Kerry had won he would have been looking at a big Republican majority in the Congress. We will just have to wait until the midterm elections in 2006 to see what the impact will be…
