"DEMOCRATIC insiders blame National Chairman Howard Dean for risking the party’s chances in the 2006 elections"
Don't think so. Dean is irrelevant and most people know it. The middle chose the presidency and the congress and most want economic opportunity. Whomever provides it, baring personal catastrophe, wins. Anyone who has a job, sips wine and ruminates on social issues, will vote for those that further their own desires.
They're blaming the way he's allocating money. Allocating money is VERY important in U.S. politics.
Shalom.
