Who Can Stop Howard Dean?

It's a familiar story line. Howard Feinman says Democrats have "divided into familiar warring camps: for and against Howard Dean" for party chairman. But "with the DNC meeting approaching on Feb. 12, party insiders have been conducting an urgent, so far fruitless, search for a consensus Dean-stopper. The Clintons don't like Dean on substance or style, seeing him as too left and too loose-lipped. But they're being careful."

"Last week the search for a surefire Dean-stopper (if there is one) reached new levels, Newsweek has learned, with several governors -- among them Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Bill Richardson of New Mexico -- trying to gin up a last-ditch plan: let Dean be chairman, but confine his role to pure nuts-and-bolts duties by layering him with a new 'general chairman' spokesman for the party."
