Breaking News: DNC worked AGAINST Nagin
Drudge has this:
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE WORKED TO DEFEAT NAGIN
**Exclusive**
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) secretly placed political operatives in the city of New Orleans to work against the reelection efforts of incumbent Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
DNC Chairman Howard Dean made the decision himself to back mayoral candidate and sitting Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu (D-LA), sources reveal. Dean came to the decision to back the white challenger, over the African-American incumbent Nagin, despite concerns amongst senior black officials in the Party that the DNC should stay neutral. The DNC teams actively worked to defeat Nagin under the auspice of the committee's voting rights program.
The party's field efforts also coincided with a national effort by Democrat contributors to support Landrieu. Landrieu had outraised Nagin by a wide margin - $3.3 million to $541,980.
Preliminary campaign finance reports indicate many of Landrieu’s contributions came from out of state white Democrat leaders and financiers, including a $1,000 contribution from Sen. Ben Nelson's (D-NE) PAC.
The defeat of Mitch Landrieu is the latest setback for Dean's often criticized field operation.
In his victory speech late Saturday night, Nagin praised President Bush. "You and I have probably been the most vilified politicians in the country. But I want to thank you for moving that promise that you made in Jackson Square forward," Nagin said.
My fellow readers, I present Howie Dean, the DNC's gift that keeps on giving. If we ever gave him a pistol, he'd blow both feet off. This is just another example of what is wrong with the Democrats. They are so out of the mainstream, so out of touch, and so unhinged that they are starting to eat their own. Of course, I'm sure that we all recognize the name of his opponent. Mitch is Mary Landrieu's brother. It kind of makes you wonder who has been counseling Howie over there at the DNC. Or better yet, what did Mary promise Howie if he backed her brother?
Look, I'm not insinuating anything that isn't already obvious. Somebody wasscrathing someone else's back. And caught in the middle is newly-reelected mayor, Ray Nagin (boy, talk about being "stuck on stupid" ) who was basically sold out by his own party.
And let's not forget that this isn't the first time that blacks can claim that Howie's been racially insensitive. The comment a year ago about the kitchen staff of a hotel being the only black people at a Republican dinner was a low blow. I wonder what Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would have to say about this. Kweisi Mfume? Sadly, the only comments emanating from them right now are chirping crickets. Lord knows they won't bite the hand that feeds them. It's pathetic.
At least when the GOP has a problem with an elected representative, we let them know (ask David Duke) and deal with them as quickly and as best we can. The Democrats prefer to stab one another in the back, and when the story pops out, it feels as though they just twisted the knife before pulling it out. Caught red-handed again Howie. Back to the corner with you, and don't remove the dunce cap until you're told to.
