99. The Great Kerfuffle of 2003

Madfloridian is referring to an op/ed piece that Al From and Bruce Reed wrote back in 2003. In it, Al and Bruce threw a few sharp elbows at Dean, largely on the foreign policy front. By the same token, Dean went out of his way to poke at the DLC, with a reference to them as the "Republican Wing of the Democratic Party".

The whole thing was a bit overblown, since historically, Dean and the DLC have had a pretty good relationship. The DLC has featured Dean's State of the State speeches on its web site, and most of his campaign's policy proposals were straight out of the DLC book.
