The Drudge Report has a story about Howard Dean and the DNC actively undermining Ray Nagin’s re-election campaign in New Orelans:

The DNC teams actively worked to defeat Nagin under the auspice of the committee’s voting rights program.

How ironic is this? Democrats are always accusing Republicans of voter fraud. They complain bitterly about phantom roadblocks and other “irregularities” in Ohio and Florida. The “evil” Karl Rove “fixed” those elections, but they are trying to defeat candidates from their own party under the auspices of “voter rights”.

If the DNC wanted Nagin defeated, it is awfully tempting to think the voters actually got it right in New Orleans. Additionally, if Democrats are not already concerned about Howard Dean’s leadership, this should raise a ton of red flags. If the Howard Dean lead DNC cannot defeat a candidate with Ray Nagin’s baggage, what hope does he have against Republicans? I guess that is what happens when you let MoveOn.org select your party chairman although I often wonder if Karl Rove didn’t select Dean.
