Howard Dean to me: The Democrats are doing the Republicans' job

Well, that's not exactly what he said:

We can't let John McCain get away with it.A recent report by the Associated Press has revealed that the Republican National Committee is pulling together a joint fund with John McCain called the "Victory Committee." Its goal is to raise $120 million -- which they're sure to spend trying to destroy our candidates.

We've seen this before -- we know they're already launching attacks on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Hmm, you mean, Senator McCain might use the money to launch an attack:

- "in which several unidentified people described as [] supporters talk about how insulted they felt by what Obama said" about rural voters being bitter and clinging to guns and religion?

- criticizing Clinton as a flip-flopping on NAFTA: "Here's what you can't do. You can't spend the better part of two decades campaigning for NAFTA and PNTR for China, and then come here to Pennsylvania, and tell the steelworkers you've been with them all along.  You can't say you are opposed to the Colombia Trade deal, while your key strategist is working for the Colombian government to get the deal passed"?

- criticizing Obama as having "condescending views of Americans living in small towns"?

- mocking Clinton as pretending to be "Annie Oakley," "running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment"?

- calling Obama "out of touch" with mainstream Americans and an "elitist"?

Heck, if I were a Republican (which I'm not), I don't think I'd contribute a penny to the GOP right now.  Why would I, when Clinton and Obama are the ones making these attacks on each other?
