CNN.com – Rivals hit Dean for criticism of Democratic Party boss – Dec. 29, 2003

Donna Brazile, the campaign manager for former Vice President Al Gore, said Republicans would be taking notes during the Democrats’ primary battle.

Brazile’s old boss has endorsed Dean, and she said she was particularly disturbed about an anti-Dean ad that used an image of bin Laden to raise questions about Dean’s national security credentials.

“If I was Karl Rove, all I’d have to do is look at the other campaign’s daily talking points,” Brazile said. “The party is sitting on it’s ass, and I think that’s a big mistake.”
