It's Not Easy Being Dean

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, August 16, 2005.

One time Vermont Governor and front running Presidential candidate, Howard Dean now finds himself leading the Democratic National Committee. Since there, he's made some big waves and big bucks for the DNC. At a time where there is much talk about reform in the Democratic Party, when the Bush Administration is finding some of its lowest approval ratings and a highly contested '06 mid-term election is just around the corner, some say Howard Dean is at the right position at the right time, others worry he's not. Today we look at Howard Dean, his role in the Democratic Party and if swing voters are listening. Laura's guests are Dante Scala, Associate Professor of Politics at Saint Anselm College and author of "Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics, Ken Rudin, NPR's Political Reporter. Kathy Sullivan, Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party and Warren Henderson, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee.
