22. Cutting off money to Dean's DNC...
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 01:02 AM by regnaD kciN
...will only make the other Dem leaders stop listening to Dean altogether. After all, if funding drops dramatically on his watch, it be taken as proof that Democrats are disgusted with him and the direction he's taking the party.

Sure, that might be a false diagnosis, but it's the simplest explanation, and will almost certainly become the "conventional wisdom." And, even so, it will be impossible for us to convince anyone that Dean's approach is working if the results seem to show the exact opposite.

Really, there are times where the joke about a Democratic firing squad being one that stands in a circle couldn't be more accurate.

:grr:
