From the Huffington Post:

At this point, if Howard Dean is not selected for at least one of these positions, it is a clear snub. But not just to Dean, but to all like-minded progressives. There’s no way that Rahm Emanuel’s animosity toward Dean can be explained away if they pass over him again, especially given his tremendous success at the DNC. That success is not a claim he holds over the Democratic Party, it is a testament to his ability to get things done.

Actually, it is quite surprising the former DNC chair and Presidential candidate was passed over the first time for the HHS Sec’y position. Imminently more qualified than the politician-cum-lobbyist Tom Daschle, Howard Dean’s executive experience (Vermont Governor), leadership experience (aforementioned DNC position), fundraising and galvanizing history (run for president with NH Primary win in 2004), and — oh yeah — practical experience (primary care physician) — all make him the ideal candidate for HHS Secretary.
