Replacing McAuliffe

The search is on for the new DNC head and the list includes some intriguing names:

Frost is one of four candidates definitely in the race. The others are former Denver mayor Wellington E. Webb, New Democrat Network founder Simon B. Rosenberg and party strategist Donnie Fowler.
Former Vermont governor Howard Dean is exploring a run and has recruited several staff members should he enter the race. Former Michigan governor James J. Blanchard and Timothy J. Roemer, a former Indiana congressman and member of the panel that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, also are still mulling formal entries, but their decisions could be influenced by the amount of congressional or gubernatorial support they corral.
On Saturday, southern Democratic leaders will hold the first of four regional conferences for potential candidates. The full DNC membership will select a new chairman in early February in Washington.

Please, please, please let it be Howard Dean. This guy will be so polarizing that he'll make the shady McAuliffe look like a political genius.
