The Dean Scene
WHO: Gov. Howard Dean and the rest of the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee
WHAT: Meeting to discuss/perhaps bask in the glow of the mid-term elections
WHEN: 11A today (Saturday, Dec. 2)
WHERE: Omni Shoreham Hotel in northwest Washington, DC.
Howard Dean was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee in February 2005 and was soon catching grief over his 50-State strategy, which spread campaign funds and resources across the country in order to broadly re-strengthen the party, rather than focus most of the cash and staff on important races.
Some say he was vindicated by the Democratic takeover of Congress during last month's mid-terms. (The results boosted his profile to the point that a bunch of Canadian politicos had him up last week to advise them on how to resuscitate the Liberal party up there. Video here.)
But he's still catching heat from Beltway insiders who say Democrats should have won even more seats than they did in November. It will be interesting to see if he touches on this in his speech today.
And let's just get this out of the way now: Here's video of his infamous "I Have a Scream" speech embedded within a pretty fair explanation of the whole thing by CBS News.
Updates to come.
