Happy Birthday Howard Dean and Ruben Gallego [View all]

One saved our party 20 years ago, and one is starting out to hopefully be a member of a new generation of "heartland" Democrats who shore up our ranks in the Senate for many years to come.

I'm proud to call both friends. I hope both have great days!
