It should be no surprise that Howard Dean is causing all kinds of pain among Democrats who don't feel like having their future prospects compromised by the likes of a snake-oil salesman. There have been hints of discontent for months. Today I was reading the latest offering about Democratic consternation surrounding Dean and came across this statement, which may explain everything.
These Democrats add that Dean should stick to the pledge he made after becoming chairman not to delve into party policy and to let office holders such as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) craft the Democrats’ agenda.
Perhaps if Pelosi and Reid ever get around to actually creating an agenda for their party, they will pass it along to Howard. But hey, put a guy in front of a mic with nothing to say, and he is bound to think of something.
Howard's just filling the void his party has become the best way he knows how. It's not his fault he is wholly unqualified to do so.
