''Who Will Be the Next Alpha Democrat?''

As the show leaves California and moves to New York, the press takes notes: "As former presidential hopeful Howard Dean delivered his pitch in Sacramento on Saturday in his bid for Democratic National Committee chairman, the lights unexpectedly dimmed. "Karl Rove evidently controls the lighting board in here," Dean said."-from "Democrats audition 7 to lead party," in the Sacramento Bee. "Handicapping the race is nearly impossible, given the small electorate and the one-on-one nature of the campaign, conducted mostly over the telephone and in private meetings. But most observers agree that Dean is the front-runner by dint of his considerable name recognition and his wide grass-roots support, with others vying to emerge as the most viable alternative."-from the LA Times story.
