DescriptionHoward Dean’s accomplishments versus James Carville’s failures By Mary MacElveen November 15, 2006
Newsmax.com reports that James Carville the political has been stated that Democrats should fire Howard Dean as the chair of the Democratic National Committee. In the most laughable statement he likens Howard Dean to that of Donald Rumseld when he said, "I think he should be held accountable. I would describe his leadership as Rumsfeldian in its competence.”

Unlike Rumsfeld, Dean’s mission to retake the House was ‘Mission Accomplished’ in which Democrats took back more than the fifteen seats needed to become the majority in that house. In fact, they took back thirty and Carville now complains that fifty should have been won. If there were a message I could send to Carville, it would be, “We won the House, stupid!”

In Howard Dean’s short tenure as the chair of the DNC he has made more of an impact since Carville won the White House for Bill Clinton and the Democrats back in 1992. Then again, I would say that victory was won by both Clinton and Gore and had little to do with Carville.
