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.”
Carville likened the Democratic takeover of Congress to the civil war battle at Gettysburg, which the Union army won but failed to pursue the Confederate army when it retreated.
“We should have chased them down,” Carville said. There was no immediate response from Dean or the DNC.
The Dims are always good at spreading the money around among friends and family.
A dem strategist mentioned on TV this week that she thought Dean ought to run for President again.

Carville is Hillary!'s footsoldier.
Her march to 2008 has begun.
You got it right! Every word out of Carville's mouth is to benefit Hillary Clinton's presidency quest. We need to keep that in mind whenever Carville or Begala speak.
How about
"I'll get you Dean and your little doggie Toto too"
YEEARRRGGGGHHHHH!
I hate to give the serpent head credit but he's not stupid...I just hope the Dims don't heed his advice. Dean is the best thing we've got going for us now.
Who takes anything this toad says seriously? He has less credibility than Sandy Berger.
If Hillary gets elected, it's going to be a carnival sideshow in the White House.
hey need to raise money just to pay off Dean's borrowing, and to prepare for the massive 2008 elections. The last President election topped 1 billion in spending, so they are going to have to raise money for that and the Senate races.
First they only have HALF of the seats we do in the Senate. Second, Hillary has raised an incredible amount. Don't underestimate these democrats. They don't need as much as we do anyway. They get free television help almost on a daily basis. You must not have known about the break out of the Senate Seats. We have OUR work cut out for us. It will be VERY hard to take back the Senate next time.
First they only have HALF of the seats we do in the Senate (up for election 2008). Sorry!!!!
I liked Carville more when he had the trash can over his head.
Now that is just funny.......ROFL!!!!
Am I reading that wrong? Carville said:
"Carville said the other Democratic campaign committees had borrowed to the hilt. "
Other committees - not this one.
One of life's mysteries is why anyone listens to that clown.
Paging Howard Dean to Fort Marcy Park.
