Help please? What is this speculation about Hillary getting rid of Dr. Dean?

I'm working again, so I have some trouble keeping up, but I come home tonight and my Libertarian, read that anti-Everyone, spouse says Tucker Carlson said Hillary would have Howard Dean fired as soon as possible if she is nominated.

What is that prediction based on?

??????????????????????

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

:hide:

on the sand in his head.

He's full of shit.

Liar, too.

that Tucker would like to start a rumor to cause divisions within the democratic party. But, no, he wouldn't do that, would he?

n/t

to switch the channel!

has come to represent the anti elite and Hillary is poltics as usual and the "elite".

Chairman Dean has been too successful for that to happen, I hope.

People ARE coming together on the *Issues*; the parties will have to WORK for their votes.

on this topic.

God!! I shouldn't listen to their BS, but HOW does someone say such things on national TV and get away with it, unless there's something, no matter how indirect, to it? Yes, ABSOLUTELY, they DO lie, but it's usually by twisting things, so I'm wondering what is being twisted.

Please don't ridicule me for wondering; this is very important to me. Just telling me to ignore it sounds too much like "drink the kool-aid".

I'm sure if it's just a lie made up by Tucker it'll take them no time at all to sort it out.

Then, I think I will give that a try.

How much energy do you want to give to a rumor? Someone (you?) should ask HRC if she would change the chair of the party if she were the nominee. She probably wouldn't answer - but hey, what else can you do?
Rumors aren't worth spending much time on, imho.

Short summary--we can probably keep the 50 state strategy if we fight for it. Clinton may not be on our side here, but she may not be able to ignore us.

Dr. Dean made Mr. Clinton a believer in his strategy for 06 prior to the elections. Whatever spews from the mouth of Tucker Carlson should be assumed to have come from his ass as well.

Carville was all over the place saying Dean has to go. Of course Hillary wants him out...Carville wouldn't have been saying that otherwise.

I could NOT understand it at the time, seeing as how the Dems had just won a majority of both houses! Where the hell was he coming from?! Maybe this explains it.

primaries that W. Clark was a "stalking horse" for Clintons to prevent a Dean win. The speculation involved worry that Hillary wouldn't get to run in 08 if Dean won. So before Kerry won Iowa, there were many who feared a Dean success--.

The average chairmanship at the DNC seems to be 2-4 years--so Tucker's "prediction" aint exactly rocket science. And I doubt that Dean wants this as a lifetime job anyway.

Here's a list of chairs and their tenure at the DNC since the 60s; there have been six different chairs since 1995 alone--but a particular dearth of WOMEN! My prediction: if Clinton makes it to the WH, she'll push for a "girl":


Henry M. Jackson (1960-1961) Washington
John M. Bailey (1961-1968) Connecticut
Lawrence F. O'Brien (1968-1969) Massachusetts
Fred R. Harris (1969-1970) Oklahoma
Lawrence F. O'Brien (1970-1972) Massachusetts
Jean Westwood (1972) Utah
Robert S. Strauss (1972-1977) Texas
Kenneth M. Curtis (1977-1978) Maine
John C. White (1978-1981) Texas
Charles T. Manatt (1981-1985) California
Paul G. Kirk, Jr. (1985-1989) Massachusetts
Ron Brown (1989-1993) New York
David Wilhelm (1993-1994) Ohio
Debra DeLee (1994-1995) Massachusetts
Donald Fowler (1995-1997) South Carolina
Christopher J. Dodd1 (1995-1997) Connecticut
Steven Grossman (1997-1999) Massachusetts
Joseph Andrew (1999-2001) Indiana
Roy Romer1 (1999) Colorado
Edward G. Rendell1 (1999-2001) Pennsylvania
Terrence R. McAuliffe (2001-2005) Virginia
Howard Dean (2005-) Vermont

TheOP asked for info based on what they heard.Since when is that a crime?

Part of that playing the fool is spewing shit like this.

Its his job.

I've always felt the Clinton's had it out for Howard Dean. It's the main reason I started to become...disenchanted with them shall we say. The Clinton's have never been about people power or about the internet. They are into the consultant class and Washington pundits. jmho.
