Some nice investigative journalism here from Howie the Whore. It's long and exquisitely detailed. Two conclusions I took away: there was a serious lack of organization and there was a serious lack of effective communication between Howard and his strategy and policy staff.

But Kurtz makes no attempt to explain why Dean did so well so early, which might be a question we'll need to return to as Kerry's dullness potentially puts the dampers on turnout.
