And want to add that everytime I see Emanuel getting credit it makes me cringe.

Thank you for your well thought out post. I couldn't agree with you more!

This is an attack, Nathan, whether you think it is or not.

People are free to disagree with my writings, but I will not stand for being called names as the previous trolls have done. You can disagree without being disrespectful.

You may think you're not a troll, but your comments are evidence that you don't visit JJP much because if you did, you would recognize that all the writers on this blog are stating opinions and not reporting like the newspapers do.

And you have NO RIGHT to tell people how they should write on a blog or what they should say or discuss. If you disagree with what is posted – GET YOUR OWN BLOG.

There are some serious concerns about some of the points you raise. It seems like Jack and Jill have a lot of readers. You can have opinionated pieces, just make sure they are responsible and based on proper research.

Okay, there is absolutely no question that the media — ALL media — railroaded Dean with his “I Have a Scream” speech. I wanted Dean to win at the time, also liked Edwards… , and didn't care for Kerry 9who really did?). HOWEVER, it is very hard to believe that Dean had any shot at winning in the general. Wrong climate. Obama himself would likely have gotten crushed in 2004. Bush wasn't hated across the board yet. I say all that to say that yes, Dean got railroaded, but I understand why.

In any case, his 50 state strategy was the smartest short-term and longterm plan the Dems have done in years, and while i can'r answer the question about why he was offered no position, I sort of like him in the very spot that he is in right now. Perhaps Obama is thinking the same thing

Being a nurse, I have a deep respect for Dr. Dean and his work to assist Americans in achieving qualty health care.

I want to believe that PEO and Howard Dean have had discussions on how he can serve in his administration; even if it is behind the scenes.

Yu questions is indeed a good one for contemplation and discussion. Thank you. Please keep it coming!

JJP informs, engages, and enlightens. I 'm looking forward to further post , debate and discussion on this topic.

All I need is time and opportunity – you engaged in name calling and I called you out for being a TROLL.

NOW who's being sensitive? TROLL

Dean was phine…..LOL

Kinda had that George Clooney vibe going on before George Clooney had it.

This is how Dean looked in college when he was rooming with the brother. This was passed around Dems in 2003-2004. Had a lotta Dem women swooning. Hell, it even makes me pant now. Yummy.

A man with principles and pulchritude, at any age.

Sometimes, circumstances force people to take action when they would otherwise leave the heavy lifting to someone else.

That dog don't hunt, either.

And we were too drunk on Clinton's kool-aid to see we were being SET UP.

I worked for the Government during Clinton's Administration – the attacks on Civil Rights would have made MLK come out of his grave for the sole purpose of bitch-slapping Clinton as a result of the roll-backs, just because Clinton was trying to stay ahead of the ReThugs.

We had more enforcement authority under Bush SR than Clinton and Bush JR COMBINED.

You didn't hear about Ward Connerly or Shelby Steele until the Democrats lost both house of Congress after Clinton was elected. He was too busy slinging Lani Guinier and Joycelyn Elders to the wolves to be concerned about it until Newt Gingrich gamed his ass with that “Contract For America” bullshyt.

That project should have been named “Contract ON America” from all the people it took out. Straight up Gangsta.
