DNC Chair Howie Dean refuses to debate RNC Chair Ken Mehlman

It was supposed to be a debate between the two current chairs of the Democrat and Republican parties respectively, but it ended up being a debate between the current chair of the RNC and the former chair of the DNC (Terry McAuliffe). Here’s the video of Today show host Meredith Vieira introducing McAuliffe and Mehlman, and announcing that NBC had invited Dean on and noting he declined to be on at the same time as Mehlman. ROTFL! Too funny.

Here was the RNC’s response.

By the way, this isn’t the first time that Howard Dean has refused to be on a talking head show alongside Ken Mehlman.

Perhaps he’s realized that he has better luck handling fish than he can Republicans:
