[SIZE=+1]Howard Dean's 2012 Challenge [/SIZE]
Link
Excerpt:
Dean can publicly criticize Obama's health care bill as not worth voting for. He's not tied in any way to this administration which is looking more and more like the S.S. Titanic-Obama. That's why Obama spin-meisters immediately struck back hard at Howard Dean after his comments on the senate bill. Press secretary Gibbs and others in the administration even went so far as to invoke the Dean-is-crazy theme Dean's having a 'temper tantrum' they have complained in language that calls up images of an unstable Dean... Why has Obama treated Dean so differently than Lieberman? Because the Obama-Rahm team has never ever, even remotely had any common cause with progressivism or with progressives...
Dean, of course, is a progressive. The Obama White House also recognizes that Dean could be a political threat. If Dean wants to, he could primary Obama in 2012. He'd have lots of advantages. Dean has national name recognition. He can crank up a campaign quickly and attract the best people. He's a Washington, D.C. outsider since Obama-Rahm did him the favor of not letting him in on their gig. He has the backing of most progressives and liberals, the very people who worked hard to win the White House for Obama.
Oh they do fight....each other.
