ZEN AND THE ART OF PERMANEN T MINORITY MAINTENANCE:

Howard Dean: He Still Has The Power: Bid for DNC Chair Recharges Failed Presidential Candidate (Mark Leibovich, January 18, 2005, Washington Post)

The audience is rapt whenever Dean speaks. Slimmer and more rested-looking than you remember him, Dean is the former rock star in a field of "American Idol" contestants. His rhetoric follows closely on the "You have the power" theme that marked his presidential campaign. "I'm not much of a Zen person," Dean says, "but I've learned that the best way to gain power is to give it away."

Wow, Democrats are at the pinnacle then.
