Nobody wants Dean

Even his colleague/friends don't want him running the DNC:

Note that the Democratic governors yesterday endorsed the national chair/general chair DNC chair model, and said that they would ultimately endorse a candidate (or two) for the Post (s). Note also that Howard Dean was at the meeting at the swanky Mandarin Hotel trying to drum up support, and Note that a lot of his former colleagues (and some newish governors) were at best lukewarm about the prospect of a Chairman Dean.

In short, the DNC chair race remains WIIIIIIIDE open.
