Now Playing: 'Anybody But Dean, Part 2'

While the GOP danced, the Dems once again found themselves looking for
a leader who's not from Vermont.

Jan. 31 issue - Within hours of George Bush's Inauguration, everyone
was playing his assigned role. Republicans, happily united, were
dancing the night away at glittering balls in downtown Washington.
Democrats, meanwhile, divided into familiar warring camps: for and
against Howard Dean. In Burlington, Vt., Dean and hundreds of fans
gathered for an "un-Inauguration"-and in support of the former
governor's quest to become the new chairman of the Democratic Party. In
Georgetown that same evening, hordes of insiders partied at the stately
home of Mark Penn, the Clinton family pollster, where they gripped and
grinned with Bill and Hill, cheered each other up-and fretted about
Dean's assault on party headquarters. "There was a ton of positive
energy at the house," a guest said later, "except for the fear and
loathing of Dean."
