Howard Dean......
Via Drudge:
"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.
DNC Communications director Karen Finney said the report was "absolutely false." Finney explained: "The DNC does not as a policy get involved in Democratic primaries... The only thing that the DNC did was a campaign helping ensure that displaced voters had an opportunity to vote."
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.
Heh.....
Nagin's incompetence aside, I some how just can't keep from smiing.
But remember, when the Democratic Party cries racism, they they know what they are talking about.
UPDATE: Drudge is now saying that the DNC denies the report. Sure they do, yeah I'll bet. Seems the DNC threatened to sue, and Drudge backed off. I love it DRAMA even MORE questions that need to be answered.
Think that we're letting it go at that? Think again.
UPDATE II: Well! I thought something was fishy about the DNC's rapid fire denial of the original Drudge story. This story thickens the plot. Was this an organized plot at mass voter fraud for 2006 by voting throughout the "despora"? Time will tell, but it definitely needs to be looked into.
