Dean received a medical degree from the [[Albert Einstein College of Medicine]] in 1978. He was elected [[Lieutenant Governor]] of [[Vermont]] in 1986 and became [[governor]] in 1991 upon the death of Richard A. Snelling. During his governorship, he balanced the [[budget]], cut [[tax]]es twice and fought to keep [[socialized health care]]. In 2004 he ran for [[President of the United States]] on a very [[liberal]] platform. While he was the front runner for a period of time, he lost to [[Massachusetts]] Senator [[John Kerry]]. After his third-place finish in the [[Iowa]] caucus, Dean quickly gained notoriety as an internet fad of sorts, due to his "unconventional" concession speech. Especially notable was the "Dean Scream" which has been parodied countless times on the internet. Many say this scream led to his drop as national front-runner. On February 12, 2005, Dean was elected chairman of the [[Democratic National Committee]] (DNC), despite opposition by prominent Democrats such as [[House Minority Leader]] [[Nancy Pelosi]] and [[Senate Minority Leader]] [[Harry Reid]]. Howard Dean stepped down from his post when his term expired in January 2009.<ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/democrats_dean/2008/11/10/149702.html Howard Dean to Step Down as DNC Chairman] AP, November 10, 2008</ref>
