For the elected officials who endorsed Dean--like McGreevey or O'Malley--it's hard to calculate whether there will be long-term costs. Some aggrieved colleagues suggest they have potentially damaged their reputations in the eyes of the DLC-friendly network of donors and perhaps could lose access to the p.r. services that the DLC performs by trumpeting politicians in its publications and conferences. But, for Kamarck, the costs are much clearer. According to New Democrat sources, it is unlikely that she'll be invited to speak at centrist Democratic conferences or to write in the New Democrat journals that have been her prime stage for the last 20 years. "How can you think of her the same way again?" asks one Democratic wonk.
