Serpenthead Wants Howard the Donkey Out

The internecine warfare among the victorious Dems continued unabated today with Dem strategist James Carville calling for the head of Howard the Donkey:

Democratic strategist James Carville says his party should dump Howard Dean as chairman of the Democratic Party because of incompetence.

Carville, during coffee and rolls with political reporters today, said Democrats could have picked up as many as 50 House seats, instead of the nearly 30 they have so far.

The reason they didn’t, he said, is the Democratic National Committee did not spend some $6 million it could have put into so-called “third tier” House races against vulnerable Republicans.

Carville said the other Democratic campaign committees had borrowed to the hilt.
He said he tried to meet with Dean to argue for additional spending for Democrats in the final days of the campaign, but Dean declined and gave no reason why.

Asked by a reporter whether Dean should be dumped, Carville replied, “In a word, do I think? Yes.”

He added, “I think he should be held accountable.” He added, “I would describe his leadership as Rumsfeldian in its competence.”

Meanwhile, the Murtha/Hoyer battle heats up with another article in the Washington Post slamming Murtha. Pelosi is still strong arming members to vote for Murtha, and moderate Dems are starting to panic.

This is way too much fun.
