Dean May Face the Biggest Challenge in New Hampshire
By Ronald Brownstein, Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON - On the night before the Iowa caucuses, James Carville had a prediction so dramatic as to seem reckless: The wave building behind Sens. John F. Kerry and John Edwards was so big that each would win more than 30% of the delegates at stake. Carville, the campaign manager for Bill Clinton in 1992, proved to be dead-on.
Now Carville has an equally stark forecast for Howard Dean in New Hampshire: Win or go home.
The Dean campaign insists it has the money, the institutional support and the grass-roots army to soldier on in the presidential race no matter what happens in New Hampshire next Tuesday. Dean, the frontrunner in fundraising and the national polls for months, made that case in his frenzied concession speech in Des Moines on Monday night.
But after his collapse in Iowa, Dean faces a situation his supporters could not have imagined a few weeks ago: Either win in New Hampshire or accelerate a downward spiral that could unravel his campaign.

Looks like old snake head is still working for the Clinton's.
It's no secret that Howie intended to fire Clinton's man at the DNC, forget his name.

Oh yeah, and as we all know, Carville's predictions are always right! Remember how the Republicans cleaned the Dimmies' clocks in 2002? LOL!

The Dean campaign insists it has the money, the institutional support and the grass-roots army to soldier on Sure the MoveOn.org communist money and grassroots action wing organization. Let them go forth and spend allllllll the money they can to get Dean in the finals. I love seeing them waste their money.

Mad How ain't going home even if he takes third in NH. After all he has the cash to keep going and the hard-head determination of a psyco. He's on a mission from God or is it Job?

"Carville to Dean: Win New Hampshire or Go home."One crackpot to another.

"Carville and Dean'd make a good vaudeville team."Yes, they would. But who plays the fool. A tough call I'd say.

Carville is never right about anything .. I smell a rat. I just can't help but wonder if the "late surge" of Kerry was staged. What if the Carville gang had operatives in Iowa who waited until the day of the caucus to register their vote .. and that accounts for the higher than normal "undecideds". Just more of the taking down of Dean by the Clintons.

Anyone catch Carville and Begala last night? I stopped watching CNN awhile ago, but was channel surfing last night and stopped in on their show. Unimpressive. Thoughts from the group on this "power duo"??
