Howard Dean is doing all the right things to raise money from average Americans. He accused the president of knowing about 9/11 in advance, has called all Republicans racists, and thinks defeat is victory in Iraq.
What's not to like?
Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are privately bristling over Howard Dean’s management of the Democratic National Committee and have made those sentiments clear after new fundraising numbers showed he has spent nearly all the committee’s cash and has little left to support their efforts to gain seats this cycle, ROLL CALL reports.
Congressional leaders were furious last week when they learned the DNC has just $5.5 million in the bank, compared to the Republican National Committee’s $34 million.
Senate and House Minority Leaders Harry Reid (Nev.) and Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), along with the Senate and House campaign committee chairmen Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), have made their concerns -- directly or indirectly -- known to Dean, claims the paper.
Maybe if we didn't live in a police state; if free-thinkers like Howard Dean were allowed to speak, and not jailed under the oppressive Bush regime, people would know to donate to the DNC. Or, and this is a slim possibility, maybe the average American thinks Dean is a laughable idiot.
Just a thought.
Interestingly enough, Reid and Pelosi might want to hurry if they want to get Dean out of the picture. Rumor has it that Reid's days might be numbered. Given the state of the entire party, how long before Pelosi has to fall on her sword as well?
