Dean for HHS?

As per this DailyKos diary, it looks like Tom Daschle's nomination for HHS Secretary may be going down in flames. If it does, then President Obama (oh how I love the sound of that!) will need to make a new pick for the position.

I can think of no better candidate (and I admit that includes the current nominee) for the position than Dr. Gov. Howard Dean.

When Gov. Dean decided to run for DNC Chair, it was all of us here at DFA who got whole hog behind him and, with the help of lots of other like-minded progressive Democrats and forward-thinking state Party chairs, were able to get him elected. We all know how that turned out (can you say President Obama and big majorities in the House and Senate?).

So now there may well be another opportunity to get Gov. Dean's back, and truth be told, all of our own backs becuase we really, really need universal health care (not just insurance, but care) and if anyone can make it happen, along side of President Obama of course, it's Howard Dean.

How about we all get started hitting our lists, and sending our thoughts off to the Administration?

Howard Dean for Secretary of Health and Human Services!

If you're so inclined, you can send along your thoughts to the boss.
