8. I think the disrespect shown to Dean has been one of my biggest disappointments...

....with the administration, although I've been generally supported. There must have been some butting of heads (I'm betting with Rahm) before he took office; hence Howard being in American Samoa when Kaine was sworn in. I don't think he wanted to stay on - I think he just wanted to have some say in his replacement and the direction of the party organization, and I don't think that's an unreasonable request considering you just used the man's campaign strategy to win an election.

I thought he would have been a great choice for Health and Human Services.

I love Howard Dean! freshwest Dec 2011 #1
