Dean | Dean Alleges Dirty Attacks in Iowa (And Blames Iowa)

And he’s blaming Iowa as much as his opposition. Here’s the take at ABC News, which reports:

Howard Dean said Saturday he was surprised by the “under the table” campaigning he faced during the Iowa caucus and said the state needs to prevent such negative attacks if it wants to keep the nation’s leadoff presidential vote.

Dean said his rivals “had their folks really beating up on the people who went in, trying to get them to change their minds in caucus.”

“I think Iowa is going to have to change the way it conducts its caucuses if it wants to continue to be first,” he told reporters in an interview on his campaign bus in New Hampshire.
