More Dems Becoming Wary Of Dean's Approach

Click on the title for the L.A. Times article about more Dems becoming more anxious about Howard Dean's reckless comments. Here is an excerpt from the piece on Sen. Feinstein's opinion:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on her way into the Capitol Hill meeting with Dean that he "ought to stick to organization, raising funds and supporting Democrats, rather than creating friction and splitting the party." She added that she would advise Dean to "cool it."

A Feinstein spokesman said after the meeting that the senator had expressed her concerns to Dean, but in a more diplomatic way.

I rarely agree with Sen. Feinstein's politics. But I have to say she usually conducts herself with a certain amount of class and dignity, even if she is dead wrong. But in this case, she is right. Dean is starting to cause deep divisions within the party that very well could lead to a permanent split.
