Tension at the top?

I hope so.

The way I figure, if Chuck and Rahm weren't scratching deep for every available Democratic dollar, they wouldn't be doing their jobs.

And if Howard wasn't battling to conserve the resources he needs to keep his 50 State Strategy pledge, he wouldn't be doing his.

That's the point. They have different constituencies, different jobs, different ideas. That's the big tent in action. That doesn't mean they have different goals, though.

The fact that they might put some emotional energy behind their efforts just doesn't upset me at all. In fact, it's more reassuring than not.

Who's right? No telling, really, until election day, but a battle over the best vision for victory is a fight we can all win in the end.
