Levana Layendecker, the communications director of Democracy for America, a group that's the remnants of Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, claims that Obama is still the progressives' man. In fact, Dean himself says that.
Well, Howie Dean built his "progressive cred" on a gay marriage bill in Vermont that he wasn't that thrilled about until it landed on his desk and he knew he'd have a shitstorm if he vetoed it. Other than that, he is bupkis as far as true liberalism.
Apparently Howie and his mouthpiece don't pay attention to places like Truthout and its new open letter to the "left establishment."
Now, that said, Howie probably DOES speak for Talking Points Memo; given a staff-generated piece that long, without any blog-editorializing to go along with it, could it be otherwise?
