Howard Dean, head of DNC

It has been made official that Howard Dean will be the next chairman of the DNC, effective this Saturday. After the election was over, all I heard about was how the Democratic party needed to move further to the center of the aisle in order to re-establish itself as a competent body in America. So, I am scratching my head wondering how, after all this talk, Howard Dean could land this job. Personally, I would think someone like Joe Lieberman or Bill Richardson would be a little more appropriate.
