There is a great flurry on the question, should competing presidential candidates speak about the weaknesses of other contenders? Howard Dean is at the center of the controversy because he chewed out Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic chairman. He told McAuliffe he should have used his good offices to get the other candidates to shut up about him and how he couldn?t win if nominated. Everybody is now mad at everybody else but mostly at Dean. One mostly gets mad at front runners.
