the RNC has instructed McCain and Mitt to address the economy, the DNC is letting the spit get ugly. Why can't there be more professionalism in our party leadership. I used to admire Dean, but he's acting like a hack, someone who does not know how to lead. It's a party nomination and this split if it occurs will be a direct responsibility of the DNC.

Clinton is seen as the head of the party? Kinda hard for him to call a ceasefire.

the candidates are running for office, each side is spinning what the other says and does and each side is complicit in making this a slugfest. that's what leadership is supposed to be for. to lead. Why should he get a pass and blame it on Bill? That's the Obama spin right now to blame Bill, tell people what he really means when he's said something that may be spun to advantage.

of the party. Dean and the DNC have all the legal authority to represent the party, but they are not going to be able to exercise sway over Bill Clinton. There's also the unspoken threat that if Hillary win s the WH, Dean is out as DNC Chairman. In the past, we've always had former Presidents act as a moderating influence on the party. You must admit, no matter who you're supporting, Bill Clinton can't function in such a role this cycle.

Bill isn't any more head of the party than Al Gore, who is also not head of the party. Dean is head of the party, it's his job, his day job, he gets paid to do this job. Somehow it's fashionable to blame Bill for anything and everything, and you may not know how weird that sounds to normal people who don't have time to blog and who remember when times were better. They'd think Obama sounds like a whiner. even the pundits who love him have suggested he stop obsessing about Bill and stop that incessant whining. Makes him look like a sixth grader. Meanwhile the party of 'ideas' (pugs) are leading, and they've set the agenda for their credible candidates. We're stuck with slackers?

you claim Bill Clinton is responsible for the DNC. Defend it or take it back.

is Bill Clinton's fault, but his role as a combatant leaves a void in this contest.
