Why the fuck does anybody want him to go?

2. "Because they can't stand the truth!!!" K&R
Thank you Dr. Dean. He said, when you ask people for their vote it shows respect. Well the evangelicals sure showed respect. They either sat it out or voted for Democrats. That's just great. Dean did this. He promised to go South right after he won and he did. He took crap for the pick up commenet but so what, he had good intentions. He survived with a bunch of permanent Washington staffers who sand bagged him on the Ohio 2004 Report, a sad day for democracy. He righted himself on election issues and trashed touch screen and other electronic voting where ever he went from about April on. He's a mench;)

3. IMO, it's because Carville wants corporate whores to represent us
in the WH. I think the pitbull should take his treasonous hag and get the hell out of our party.

7. Good point. Howard Dean is more interested in grassroots
...donations than a typical party chair (who prefer kissing up to big donors.)

4. Because They Don't Want People Like Dean
to get any credit. If he gets credit the liberals in the Dem party get credit. Conservative Dems such as Rahm and Carville don't like that. That places their agenda's on a political chopping block, so they go on the offensive and spread lies about Dean being ineffective.

5. Because they'd like to hack away at welfare programs a little more
Carville is still the same Clintonesque organizer he always was. He only speaks the progressive tongue so he can string them along and stab them in the back later.

Ford was a god awful candidate and would have lost minus the attack ads in his state. He tryed to play Republican and the voters wanted the real deal. So they voted for a Republican. Should anyone be surprised that this guy lost?

6. Maybe James Carville wants Howard Dean out....
...because Howard Dean believes in building for the future, and helping state parties who are involved in state races.

James Carville wants the DNC to spend all its money to try to elect Hillary Clinton.

The above is just speculation.
