Who’s Afraid of Howard Dean?
Hillary turns down the chance of a lifetime. PLUS: Who Howie’s not afraid of.

Howie Dean
may not be cultivating the support of
Bill Clinton
, but he is going after the
Congressional Black Caucus. Already he has the endorsement of some
of the most liberal House members who also happen to be members of
the CBC — CBC Vice Chair
Sheila Jackson Lee
(D-Tex.) jumped on Howie Dean’s bandwagon early. Now it appears CBC
Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) is going to endorse Dean too.
/p>
Dean’s success in picking off CBC support from Dick Gephardt is somewhat surprising, but he’s showing the political acumen to back up the CBC’s support. For example, last week, Dean announced that he was hiring CBC staffer Doug Thornell to serve as his traveling press secretary.
p>”That hiring let us know we weren’t going to be forgotten,” says another CBC staffer. “Dean has sought us out. Some of the other candidates haven’t bothered.” br> /p>
