This past Friday I was privileged to attend a fundraising luncheon with Dr. Dean as the honored guest and featured speaker.
Howard Dean was in Chicago for a luncheon sponsored by Illinois Victory 2008 supporting down-ticket candidates, most importantly our suburban area Congressional candidates, including OTB candidate Dan Seals.
I have often posted my strong support for Howard Dean's 50-State Strategy on this blog and others. Of the national party leaders, having already met Senator Obama, Congressman Emanual, and several others, Dr. Dean was the one national leader I really wanted to meet face-to-face.
Howard Dean spoke to us in great detail about programs the DNC has put into place which IMHO are a huge part of our current and continuing success.
