Actually- I think it was Ron Emmanuel who did that...Howard Dean is from the Moveon.org branch of the dems...Emmanuel is from the Bill Clinton triangulate and conquer branch...and it appears that he was very successful.
But- to lose Howie is still sad for us- UNLESS he's doing it to run in '08!!!
Just watch, there's going to be some interesting power struggles between these factions. I bet it starts getting ugly "sooner rather than later".
