Howard Dean – loved by some

Here’s Republican senator Mitch McConnell on Late Edition: “Yes. I would say to my good friend Chris [Dodd], I can't think of anybody we like better to have heading your party than Howard Dean. I hope he serves a long time. We like him right where he is.”

Meanwhile, the Democratic bigwigs are less than thrilled.

Follow-up – Boston Globe: “Dean doesn’t speak for whole party, some Democrats say” Funny, I thought that’s exactly the role of a party chairman. Also, Patrick Ruffini writes “Woe is Dean.”
