DEAN WANTS TO CLEAN: EYES CHANGES AT DNC, MCAULIFFE
Presidential contender Howard Dean has confided to associates how he desires a fresh course for the Democratic National Committee, including a dramatic change in its leadership, specifically chairman Terry McAuliffe, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Sources close to the early-Democratic frontrunner reveal how Dean has bitterly complained about McAuliffe and the lackluster job he has done for the party.

"Oil and water, those two," said one Washington observer of Dean and McAuliffe.
