It’s difficult to imagine now, with Bush’s approval rating at 22%, but back in 2003, the contenders for the Democratic nomination were scared to challenge Bush. All of them except Howard Dean. And although he’s being snubbed by the incoming administration, no one can take away the legacy he leaves behind. I think it’s best viewed in red-blue pictures.

The change in the House (colored by majority of state delegation) is especially stark: everything east of the Mississippi except for the deep south is blue.

Tomorrow is all about Obama and rightfully so (I’ll post pics asap), but tonight I just want to make sure Governor Dean is not forgotten.
