Howard Dean has rightly been elected Democratic national chairman. The grassroots organization that grew up around his inspiring presidential run will serve the Democratic Party well. The major problem that most Democrats have had during recent campaigns has been in clearly defining where they stand on many issues. By virtue of his own example, Dean (and, by extension, the rest of the Democrats) will not allow that problem to continue. Kudos again to the Democratic National Committee for electing this most deserving person.
