Howard Dean is back in Vermont. He is now a footnote in history. I remember back when (I was once advance man for Robert F. Kennedy) a somewhat obscure Senator from Minnesota by the name of Eugene McCarthy came out of nowhere to take the lead for the Democratic nomination (1968). People under the age of 40 are clueless about "clean Gene."

The interesting thing about Dean and this Blog is his use of the Internet. I read this weekend that while the Dean Blog was widely read, he never wrote an entry himself!!! Let me know if I have this wrong since I never read the Dean Blog.

The Dean legacy might just be his use of the Internet --- he will not be remembered for anything else (other than his rant after the Iowa primary).

I know that Lee Gomes in The Wall Street Journal wrote about this subject today (this cannot be read on the net unless you are a paying subscriber). But I have been writing about Dean and the Internet for several months. I doubt I will write more about it, but just wanted to bring the subject to a conclusion.
