Apparently Carville thinks Dean didn't do a good enough job this election cycle. So he's making a big stink about it. Saying something about how the Dem's took out a $10 million loan, and only spend half of it. Saying that they left 10 to 20 races on the table when they could have cleaned house. Here's the story.

What is the deal here guys? You've won, well done. As far as for not spending all the money, shoulda coulda. Maybe the extra money would have been spent on advertising that could have resulted in a more polarized debate; which may have brought more conservatives out to vote.

This article seems to say this kinda thing is common place with the Democrats, which is sad. If there is a problem it should be dealt with internally, and then someone on the inside should write a book about it. What's the point of press if no one can make a dime off it.

I agree, it is way too soon to hear about this kind of infighting. Dems should realize that this victory will be very short lived if they don't present decisive leadership. There were enough "not Bush" votes to give them this victory, even if it was just by default because people were fed up with the GOP congress and the administration.

I think the real problem down the road with the Democratic party is that they see problems with more gray areas than Republicans have -- as of late. When problems/solutions are painted in black and white it's easier to pick a side and rally people behind a unified cause (i.e. with us or against us). The gray areas allow for a multitude of different opinions which can be exploited to show the party as fragmented and squabbling.
