DescriptionThe Democratic Party defused a tense internal struggle over how it spends its money by boosting spending on a get-out-the-vote effort for the November elections.

The Democratic National Committee, the party's overarching organization, agreed to set aside $12 million to mobilize voters on Election Day, with $2.4 million planned for 40 congressional districts that are considered among the most competitive in the country.

The deal for now quiets the infighting between the DNC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee over party chairman Howard Dean's spending priorities. Dean has devoted most of the DNC's resources to building the party from the ground up, focusing on having strong local and state party organizations.
