Why not a good fight?
I like Howard Dean quite a lot, but he's wrong on this one. The best way to work out the division between Obama and Clinton supporters may be to have a wrestling match at the convention. Only a convention fight is likely to satisfy the supporters of the eventual loser, who will then feel they've taken their best shot. The alternative -- forcing one or the other out -- is potentially disastrous. There will be three months after the convention to skewer McCain, who's providing a fat target, and, in the meantime, no one is paying attention to the McCain/RNC attacks.

DEAN NEEDS TO STOP
worrying about a divided convention and start worrying that the Democratic Party ends up with the best candidate instead of the one that diluted the Party's frequent and regular voting base with 20 year olds.
It's about time we stop caving in to elitist candidates by February that get good PR bounces out of Iowa, and start letting this nomination thing run it's course. It might go a long way in explaining why we can't seem to win the Big one in November.
What I find interesting is that the very small, narrow group that has propelled Obama to the forefront of his ambitious political career are the very leftist liberals that gave the Party such a bad name that we had to find a new word, "progressive." How soon they forget!
Dean needs to stop pandering to Obama and start thinking about what's best for the Party. And it's not Barack Obama.
