More on Chairman Dean from U.S. News and World Report

This article from the U.S. News and World Report on the success of the "50 State Strategy"came out today. I wonder if the author was reading Cotton Mouth last night? ;)

Democratic insiders are giving much of the credit for the party's three high-profile victories in conservative congressional districts this year to Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Dean's decision to implement a 50-state strategy, invest staff and money across the country, and compete with the Republicans even in GOP strongholds now looks much smarter than it did a couple of years ago. "He was scorned inside Washington, but he was right," says a party veteran with close ties to the DNC.

Howard Dean may end up being the biggest hero of them all when this current Democratic takeover is looked back on a few years removed.
