Can we get an honest
broker? I'm starting to hear lots of things about who gets credit for our taking the house and senate this year, and I'm a little annoyed about it. Why can't people like Carville and Emmanuel give even a little bit of something to Dean for his 50 state strategy? Even Lisa Caputo can't bring herself to give Dean a little credit. Emmanuel does nothing for me, neither does Carville anymore.

Many of us who frequent the internet and progressive sites worked very hard to get out the vote and contributed money most of us don't have to campaigns. I don't know about any of you, but I was inspired by Howard Dean. It was an effort with many parts and I think that the people who forget that are making a mistake.

Pretty soon, I expect to see Carville or Emmanuel on Hardball ripping Dean to shreds. What a story that will be, Democrats can't get united!!!!! They are so disorganized, so willing to dump on each other, there's no loyalty in the Democratic Party. Yada, yada, yada.

Can there be anyone out there who can bring all these disparate sides together and unite behind the fact that we took the house and senate this year and intend to hold to Reagan's 11th Commandment, thou shalt not say anything negative about a member of one's own party?

Does anyone have any suggestions about this?

1. I know what you mean.
I gave every month to Dean, but nothing to the DCCC. I think Rham is much too DLC. It was Dean all the way who made it happen; we all know it was. Keep saying it.

2. the people that chose Kerry over Dean?
Dean has been correct about this matter from the start and to recognize him for his "strateegery" would simply say 'WE WERE WRONG" period

4. They consistently choose the loser. Why would anyone expect them to start making good choices now?

3. I'll let Dean speak for himself. My view is that Dean cared more about getting a majority
than any immediate personal kudos. If Dean feels compelled to defend himself, I think he and Carville are an even match. I like them both. Each has plenty of individual party loyalty.
