Goldberg on New DNC Chair

Jonah Goldberg has an interseting take on the elevation of Dr Howard Dean to the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee. The good doctor's bedside manner was and is something which many Democrat congressional leaders fear will be too divisive. Obviously, many grassroots Democrats disagree.

Dr Dean has already been blasting away at the horrible Republicans, suggesting that the Republicans couldn't fill a decent sized conference room with African American supporters without bringing in the hotel staff. It's the sort of stuff that thrills the Democratic base, but it doesn't much appeal to anybody else, and the good doctor is going to make Republican fundraising much easier.
