DNC fundraisers cutting and running under Dean's watch...

The Hill is reporting that three top fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee are bolting because of DNC Chair Howard "Old Yeller" Dean's lack of attention to big money donors.

Democratic fundraisers say that there is growing concern over what they call DeanÂ’s lack of attention to major donors and that donors are much less likely to give money if they donÂ’t have sufficient opportunity to meet with the partyÂ’s leadership.

“When you don’t have the chairman to fundraise with, or any principals of the leadership, you can’t get major donors to help you,” a veteran Democratic fundraiser said. “You want the leaders of the party to sit down with them so they can discuss their plan.”

“It’s frustrating to be the staff person in charge of that group,” the fundraiser said. “No one wants to stay in a job in which they’re not successful.” The fundraiser added that New York is a competitive place to raise money and that donors often demand detailed explanations of how the money will be spent.

Gee I can't understand why donors would want to know where the money will go. Oh yeah, that's right. Isn't Dean the guy who raised over $40 million in 2003 and then pissed most of it away by the end of January 2004 - not winning a single primary outside of worthless Vermont?

I hope Democrats are too late to figure out that Dean is a political amateur who owes his current notoriety to guys like Joe Trippi. Go, Howie, Go!
