| Description | WASHINGTON (AP) -- There is a sort of swagger to Howard Dean's smile.
Here he is, poised to take charge of the Democratic Party, a striking comeback after his flameout a year ago in the presidential race. He is savoring the moment, yet displaying a new sense of caution.
"There are a lot of people in this city who are afraid I'm going to be very unorthodox -- and I am," Dean chortles to a door-busting crowd of supporters in the lead-up to his election Saturday as party chairman.
But the bruises from his crash to Earth after flying high at the start of the presidential primary season still are so fresh that Dean is displaying a new, determined effort at restraint.
"I'm going to be a little careful about the directional mike this time," he says at the start of a recent speech, a reference to the microphones that amplified his oft-mocked scream in Iowa. His "wow" at the size of the crowd this time sounds more like a flat statement of fact.
