I may be in the minority here, but I agree with James Carville that Howard Dean is overrated and he failed miserably in the '06 midterm elections. I think Mr. Carville was being too modest when he said that the Democrats should have been able to easily pick up 50 House seats. Heck, I think it should have been 80-100.
If Terry McAuliffe was still in charge, I think we could have won an additional 150+ seats.
Oh the blue-nosed elitists of the blogosphere may disagree, but JC (as I like to call him, because he reminds me of another JC) should be in charge of the DNC.
James Carville has MOJO and CHARISMA. When he appears on the television he brings us an additional 50,000 votes every time. He speaks so eloquently and statesmanlike, quite unlike that screaming banshee, Howard Dean. When JC became host of 'Crossfire' the ratings went through the ROOF. I bet that it also pisses of the RethugliKKKlans that JC is boning the #1 Rethuglican woman, Mary Matalin every night as well, and that works to our advantage!
Howard Dean also has a lot of political baggage besides "the scream". He has an 'A' voting record according to the National Rifle Association and pandered for votes from the Religious REICH on Pat Robertson's 700 Club. He even said that he would like to be the candidate for white guys with Confederate Flags on their pickup trucks. He has yet to fully explain or apologize for such vile, racist statements.
In a few years, history will judge me correctly when the netroots finally recognizes that Dean is a God that Failed.
BRING BACK CARVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
