RE:   Plan of Attack on new DNC Chair Howard Dean, Pt.1

Our sources on the inside have confirmed that the DNC chairmanship has been decided in Howard Dean's favor, and a public announcement to that effect will be coming later this week. Unfortunately, since none of our "preferred" candidates came out on top, it is now time to put in motion the 'worst case scenario' plan we had worked out early last month, when things started tilting in Dean's favor.

To set a clear example, and send a strong message for the rest of Dem congressional and senatorial representatives, to always line up 100% on Core Democratic issues.

And since it is not fair to punish anyone for 'violating' a vague or undefined code or law, I have attempted,as part of this diary, to simply define, enunciate and enumerate my personal version of what I view to be the core set of  Democratic issues and values below.

I'm in favor of Dem bosses having the power (and using it) to make examples of blatant serial violaters (such as [add your favorite suspect here] a 'Zeller', an L'man , a B*den etc.) of the Democratic code of core issues and values.
