"BURLINGTON, Vt. Former Governor Howard Dean addressed about 250 supporters last night at a Burlington event his political organization billed an "Un-auguration" to counter the inauguration of President George Bush."-from the AP story. The Washington Post discovers some old news: "Dean leading endorsements for DNC chair." From the Wall Street Journal: Howard Dean is fighting "a tarnished image in bid for Democratic chairmanship. Just 27% of party backers view the Vermont ex-governor positively, down from 48% a year ago. But he's less of a lightning rod for Republicans than during his presidential bid; 37% view him negatively, down from 58% in January 2004." They are making you pay to read the whole story, so I don't know what "party backers" means to the WSJ. I picked up the quote from Political Wire. His headline: "Dean Battles Image Problem."
