Howard Dean for Health!

I was never thrilled with Daschle for Health. That always seemed like a political payoff for Daschle's support during the primary. His tax problems were merely the straw that broke the camel's back. I was also concerned abot his connections to the health industry. But, I am very excited by the prospect of Howard Dean for the position. He does not have the Senate background, but his experience as a Governor and a doctor and a former presidential candidate make him a wise choice.

My only concerns are whether he and Obama have the right chemistry and whether Obama will agree to step back and let Howard run the health reform show. Oh, and Obama needs to promise to keep Joe on a short leash (muzzled!) so that Howard really will be leading the health charge.

Go Howard!
