IIRC wasn’t dean made dnc chair at some point after? Maybe around the time of Obama? I feel like he was the one behind the winning 50 state strategy but I’m going purely on memory here…
Edit: for the amount of brain injuries I’ve had somehow my political memory works a little too well. Dean was indeed chair of the DNC before Obama became president and pursued a 50 state strategy to get Obama elected.
Yeah. It’s curious. If they really didn’t want him around they wouldn’t of made him dnc chair. I also think the democrats of the late 2000s were slightly less corrupt than todays democrats, which isn’t saying much.

Yeah, they didn’t totally ditch him. But they didn’t seem to want to allow him to be democratically […] elected as a candidate.
