Post #247,821 by ben_tilly 3/13/06 8:31:08 PM Reply	Dean is no longer eligible Since he took over the DNC, he can no longer be the Democratic candidate for President. Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
Post #247,822 by Another Scott 3/13/06 8:35:49 PM Reply	He could resign. But since he said [link\|http://politicalwire.com/archives/2005/05/23/dean_insists_he_wont_run_in_2008.html\|he won't run in 2008], that seems unnecessary. Cheers, Scott.
Post #247,826 by ben_tilly 3/13/06 9:00:55 PM Reply	I believe that the ban is permanent I seem to remember when he took the job that DNC bylaws permanently disqualified him from seeking the presidency as their candidate.

Post #247,833 by Another Scott 3/13/06 9:47:50 PM Reply	That sounds very strange... Most politicians don't look beyond the next election. It's hard to believe that anything in politics is permanent... This [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_Democratic_candidates_in_the_2008_U.S._presidential_election\|Wikipedia] article says he would have to resign as DNC chair to run. I can't find anything in the [link\|http://a9.g.akamai.net/7/9/8082/v001/democratic1.download.akamai.com/8082/pdfs/20060119_charter.pdf\|DNC Bylaws] (26 page .pdf) that would indicate it's permanent. Article 5 on the National Chair says he must be impartial (Section 4). But I just skimmed it (it doesn't seem to be searchable). Cheers, Scott.

You actually dug up references, and they disagree with me. I'd trust the references more than my memory. :-) Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
