Carville's Still On A Tear, But Rahm and Dean Will Bury The Hatchet

[AlCzervik]

As James Carville continues his crusade to oust Howard Dean as DNC chair, DCCC chair Rahm Emanuel wants to concilliate.

According to sources in the DNC and DCCC, Emuanel called Dean this morning to distance himself from the tone and general tenor of Carville's remarks. In a short conversation, Emanuel acknowledged that he shared some of Carville's opinions about the DNC's priorities but said he did not share Carville's wish that Dean ought to be ousted as DNC chair.

Dean called Emanuel on election night, and the two had a friendly conversation, according to sources affiliated with both men.

When their schedules permit, Dean and Emanuel will meet privately to discuss their plans for the 2008 cycle. Both sides hope to reach, in advance, an understanding about how the Democratic party committees will fund state parties and candidate committees.

After the private meeting, the two will likely take their rapprochement public.

Meanwhile, current DNC member/ex-DNC chair Don Fowler e-mailed members of the DNC his response to Carville.

1. Emmanuel did that because he knows that the grass roots

support is with Dean.

Carville can take a walk. He's just trying to get rid of all the people who might not want Hillary to get the nomination in 2008.

2. Will they bury it in Carville's head?

Just asking.:shrug: Staple his lips shut maybe?

3. I think this is about Carville's future employment contracts

and position as a pseudo-pundit than any deep-seated philosophical beliefs - assuming he has any.
