LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) The amazing Howard Dean on Monday heroically pushed his perfect storm across Wisconsin amid the jettison of his DLC mole national chairman, a fresh sign of his electability on the eve of a critical primary with 72 national convention delegates at stake.

Dean spoke eloquently about the circumstances surrounding Steve Grossman's exit. But the former Vermont governor's national campaign manager, Roy Neel, said he thought Grossman would soon join the failing campaign of Republican John Kerry.

''He's made clear in his on-the-record comments to the press he has another agenda at work now,'' Neel said.

For whatever the reason, the shake up highlighted Dean's message on the eve of the primary in a state with a tradition of supporting liberals, mavericks and Washington outsiders a state he said would continue a long string of magnificent finishes.

It was the second brilliant strategic change in the Dean high-command in little more than two weeks. Joe Trippi, his campaign manager previously, was ousted after Dean finished well ahead of both Rev. Al Sharpton and Rep. Dennis Kucinich in the Iowa caucuses and came in a glorious second to intern-screwing Kerry in New Hampshire.

At the time, Dean said that he offered Trippi Louisiana and the Northern part of Mississippi should he become President as payment for ad buys. When he decided to bring in Neel for the top day-to-day job, Trippi demanded all of Mississippi and half of Alabama, and was then exiled.

Grossman said he had begged pathetically to stay on the Dean Machine and understood why Dean considers him a rat bastard."
