Happy Birthday, Governor Dean!

Governor Howard Dean turns 60 today. Celebrate with us by sending in your birthday wishes for the Governor!

The internet department at the DNC is going rogue for this project.

Today is Governor Dean's 60th Birthday and we wanted to do something for Governor Dean that included you, one of the biggest advocates for the 50 state strategy. So here's the deal. If you'd like to send Gov Dean a birthday message leave it as a comment to this post (or if you don't have an account, or want to make it semi-private you can use this form,) and we'll print what your comment and get it to Governor Dean sometime today.

Post your wishes here, or sending them in using this form, and we'll give them to the Governor. But don't ruin the surprise!

We'll have pictures to share later.

President-Elect Obama to Tackle Economy ''Head On''

President-elect Barack Obama delivered his first press conference since Tuesday night's presidential election, and took the opportunity to address the ailing economy, vowing to "confront this economic crisis head on."

Washington Post reports:

"Immediately after I become president, I'm going to confront this economic crisis head on by taking all necessary steps to ease the credit crisis, help hardworking families and restore growth and prosperity," Obama said in Chicago. [...]

Obama spoke after he and Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. met in Chicago with a team of 17 economic advisers who are helping to plan the transition to an Obama administration. The advisers, including current and former government officials, business executives and university professors, convened amid more dismal news on the state of the U.S. economy.
