Reply #3: Kerry = DLC [View All]

[Tamyrlin79]

Kerry was the DLC-sponsored candidate in this election. The DLC has worked against Dean from the start, first to keep him from winning the nom and now to keep him from gaining too much power or influence in the party... They don't want anyone to have enough influence to challenge them and their hold on power over the party. Think of the DLC as the current party hegemon. Dean is a direct challenge to that preeminent position.

Therefore, while I have not heard proof that Kerry is working against Dean (though I think I may have heard he had some hand in getting Pelosi NOT to back Dean for DNC chair), it would not surprise me in the least if it turns out to be true.
