Just when I was starting to warm up to the probability that Howard Dean will be the next DNC Chair, I read this Roll Call article on Kos:
Pelosi and Frost met last week to discuss the persistent talk in Democratic circles that she was telling DNC members and other party officials that it would be difficult for her to work with her former rival if he was elected chairman. The two have met three times since Frost declared his candidacy, and each time Pelosi had refused to support the Texan.
Though Pelosi assured Frost that she had no problem with him as head of the party, her daughter Christine, who is chief of staff to Rep. John Tierney (Mass.), circulated a proposal via e-mail last week that would install Dean as chairman with former Rep. Tim Roemer (Ind.) handling the day-to-day activities of the committee.
No, no, no! Tim Roemer is great to speak for Democrats on National Security, but he shouldn't be in charge of day-to-day opperations. If Dean wins, he should put Rosenberg or Frost in charge of that. Both of them actually have experience running a Democratic organization, and would be able to hit the ground running. It should not be a patronage position to Nancy Pelosi's friend Timmy.

I wouldn't.
Frankly, I'm not sure Dean would need a co-pilot, but by far I think that if he did it'd have to be Rosenberg or Donnie Fowler.
Martin Frost is good at raising money; that'd also have to qualify him for the job. Doubt he'd want it though.
