It remains to be seen how well Dean will do as DNC Chairman.

Keep in mind that Gingrich was not, prior to the Republican takeover of Congress, the divisive figure that he later became.  He wasn't even that well known at that time.  He got a little drunk with power in 1995 and never quite recovered.

Dean is already well known, so he's not quite the same as Gingrich.  I find that Dean has a tin ear for values, and this will not really help if the party really wishes to project the idea that it cares about values.  If this is the mission, then I don't see how Dean can do it.
