Howard Dean slams Democrats: #39;Where the hell is the Democratic Party #39;
Howard Dean post mortem is mostly right. His acceptance of an implicit coronation of Hillary Clinton is however problematic. It is important for the primary process to work.

DALLAS (Reuters) - Never mind the potential for name fatigue. Former U.S. President George W. Bush likes the idea of a 2016 presidential matchup between his Republican brother Jeb Bush and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
In an interview as part of the rollout of a book he has written about his father, former President George H.W. Bush, Bush said he is urging Jeb to try to make it three Bush presidents.
Jeb Bush, 61, is a former two-term governor of Florida who is considering entering the Republican presidential nomination race for 2016 and says he'll make up his mind by year's end.
"He's had the experience necessary to be president. He understands what it means to be a leader. He can appeal to different voter groups in an attractive way," George W. Bush told Reuters. "He's got vision," said Bush, adding, that if Jeb decides to run, "I'm all in" with helping him.
Any concerns Americans might have about a third president named Bush would be tempered by the presence of Hillary Clinton in the race, since her husband, Bill Clinton, served two terms as president, said Bush.
"There are some people thatll say theres no way Im going to vote for somebody with that name," said Bush. "Of course if he were to run against Hillary Clinton then I think the name issue would somewhat dissipate and then people would pick which one would be the leader. But neither one of them has declared and I really dont know if Jeb is going to run."

George W. Bush likes idea of Jeb Bush vs Hillary Clinton ...
Talk may be cheap, but politics isn't.
Just ask the Clintons. This year, Bill and Hillary Clinton's combined travel expenses for campaign rallies and fundraisers is likely to exceed $1 million, according to Buzzfeed, which analyzed available state and federal campaign finance reports.
Not surprisingly, Mrs. Clinton already taking heat for it.
The Republican National Committee seized on the Buzzfeed article and quickly came up with a new nickname for the possible 2016 presidential candidate: "high-flying Hillary," and her travel costs are the subject of an email sent by the RNC.
"The Clintons were already under fire for their lavish campaign travel tabs for weeks," the email says, according to The Hill. The RNC also points to a Bloomberg report that it cost more than $50,000 to fly the Clintons to the Harkin Steak Fry in September, when Hillary Clinton made her high profile return to Iowa.
What's behind the rising Clinton travel costs?
"Bill and Hillary Clinton were the most sought after surrogates in the Democratic Party this year," reports Buzzfeed. (That's largely because President Obama was considered a toxic surrogate in some states and races.)
And the Clintons were busy this election season. Hillary Clinton headlined 45 events in 19 states in a span of 54 days for the Democrats, between Sep. 9 and Nov. 1, according to the Washington Post.
The numbers are impressive: Bill campaigned for more than 47 candidates, Hillary for 26. Together, they headlined some 75 rallies and fundraisers and logged about 50,000 miles doing so. The average cost for each trip was about $21,000, and the total spent on airfare so far is $699,000.
And the Clintons don't fly economy class. They fly private, with multiple members of their Secret Service security detail. According to reports, Hillary Clinton often travels with about four people from the security detail and at least three aides from her personal staff.
