Dean can fire his campaign manager if he wants, though I personally thinks it's a mistake. It's who he hired to replace him that bothers me.

" Neel, Gore's former senatorial and vice presidential chief of staff, served as chief executive of the U.S. Telecom Association in Washington before working on Gore's 2000 presidential campaign. "

A friggin' lobbyist. I am very disapointed.

Now I'm on a fence. Originally I was a Kerry supporter, but his vote to authorize the war pissed me off, so I became a Dean supporter. Deans taking a lobbyist into the fold isn't as bad, but it's damn disapointing from someone who's strongest appeal was his resistnce to moneyed special interest groups.
