Yes, I saw that yesterday. I maintain that Russert is going to really lay into him, in order (as this article suggests) to show the democrats how horrible a leader he is.

Lots of people think Russert will be all warm and fuzzy; I don't think so. The DNC cannot afford another disastrous fundraising period. Dean's big claim to fame was his fundraising ability, which I have maintained all along was a big sham. Now that it is shown that he is NOT good at fundraising, they cannot afford to have him as spokeperson.

They knew he wasn't any good as a spokesperson; that is why the liberal media has avoided having him on TV.

that is why the liberal media has avoided having him on TV.

Therefore, the liberal media is having him on now at the request of the dems and the media continues to march along in lockstep. I know the leadership of the dems never wanted him in the first place, but the state level people that voted him leader must now be shown that he is a loser for them. I wonder if Dean knows the long knives are out for him.

I disagree. Russert will be quite warm and fuzzy.

I understand your reasons for feeling otherwise... and it would in fact be the smart thing for them to do... but partisanship has been trumping intelligence for the Dems for decades. They're not about to wise up now.

We'll see on Sunday. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit it and eat my words.

I agree! So typical of the MSM, to work with the DNC to protect their image. The media is nothing but another arm of the DNC.

They can't toss Dean. MveOn runs the Dem party..they would go apes**t..they were the ones who got him the post, remember..this is all a smokescreen..

However, after the 2006 election, when the Dems lose seats in BOTH houses again, then Reid, Pelosi, AND Dean get tossed..

Dean's big claim to fame was his fundraising ability, which I have maintained all along was a big sham. Now that it is shown that he is NOT good at fundraising, they cannot afford to have him as spokeperson.

I keep wondering just how much money is still available to the donks. The billionaires have dropped so much down the rat hole these past few years that they must be demanding a lot more control in exchange for any more cash. The grassroots are constantly being scammed for donations for this or that activist, like Stephenson or the BBV kerfluffle that they must be either somewhat tapped out or overwhelmed with skepticism.

If we are telling the RNC Not A Dime until we see results, why would the donks just keep giving until they bleed? Thinking Dean's email list could still be golden seems delusional, IMO.

They have empowered the radical wing to the point where the party as a whole may no longer have any control. If they get rid of Dean, does MoveOn, et al, just go with him?

Consider my words eaten. I got through about a third of the transcript and decided that you were right. It cannot be said that Russert was "warm and fuzzy" with him at all. He was actually pretty tough. No doubt it will be used as evidence of "conservative media bias" by the moonbats, but I think you're quite correct about the motivation behind it.
