Dean poised to win in race for DNC chair

Mr. Chairman.

Red state residents, have no fear. The Democratic Party will soon be in the hands of a madman:

Former Texas Rep. Martin Frost dropped out of the race for Democratic national chairman on Tuesday after failing to win the backing of organized labor, winnowing the field to front-runner Howard Dean and three challengers. Frost's decision came hours after AFL-CIO leaders decided not to make an endorsement in the race for Democratic National Committee chairman.

"At this juncture, I believe it's a fait accompli,'' [labor executive Gerald] McEntee said of Dean's bid for chairman.

That means a done deal, for you Aggies out there. Let's hope the church-jumping, sandwich-stealing, file-sealing panic factory runs the DNC with as much aplomb as he ran his own campaign.
