Picking Up Where Ron Brown Left Off
One was a snazzy dresser, a major African-American force who thrived on the Washington social circuit. The other is a buttoneddown white Vermonter, an excitable but nerdy med school kind of guy. But there's something about the similarities between the late Democratic National Committee Chairman Ron Brown and current DNC boss, Howard Dean, that has folks talking--even Dean. "My model is Ron Brown," he says flatly. Don't laugh. Sure, their personalities and styles are radically different, but party insiders and friends of both say Dean has attacked his job of reforming the party just as Brown did--with similarly winning results.
