Lifetime Appointment

CJ in Gilbert doesn't go quite that far, though I would. The more Dean the better:

Regarding "Forces amass to duel Dean" (Letters, Monday):Stop Dean? Heaven's no! Most Republicans I have talked to are absolutely delighted that the Democrats have chosen Howard Dean to be the spokesman for the Democrat Party.

As long as Dean keeps talking, the Democrats are showing themselves to be farther to left than even most Republicans realized. His rhetoric has become so overheated that prominent congressional liberals have distanced themselves from Dean, and our own governor doesn't want anything to do with him when he visits the state.

So no, I don't want to "Stop Dean." On the contrary, I hope he has a very, very long term as head of the DNC.
