Tweety asks the question I’ve been wondering about: why not name Dean as HHS Secretary?

As Jane has reported, Tom Daschle has withdrawn from consideration to be HHS Secretary.

Which leaves a spot open for someone who has thought a lot about how to get Americans health care and a proven leader.

How about Howard Dean?

If you’re interested, there’s a Facebook group where you can show your support for Dean for HHS.

Howard Dean has time to get his picture taken for the front page of FDL. Me, I’ve got a bit of time to bitch about how Rahm treated Dean.

I’m glad Howard Dean didn’t let Chuck and Rahm claim all the credit for a big victory again, like they did in 2006.

This has been a truly historic, transformational election. Tonight, our country chose hope over fear, the future over the past, unity over division. This election also reflects the passing of the torch to a new generation.

My take on Howard Dean’s opening speech.

Golly. John McCain couldn’t convince the NC GOP not to run a racist ad attacking Obama. Dean calls McCain on this cheap stunt.
