Dean's not much on tact, but he's got a lot more spine than his predecessor.
Quote:
Democratic Party boss Howard Dean, under fire for blunt comments about Republicans, refused to back down on Wednesday and said Republican critics were trying to divert attention from their own failures.
Republicans attacked Dean for saying in San Francisco on Monday, when asked about the lack of outreach to minorities by political parties, that Republicans are "pretty much a white, Christian party."
Republicans accused Dean of trying to divide Americans by religion and faith. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia called the comments "Howard Dean's games of division and hate." House Speaker Dennis Hastert's spokesman, Ron Bonjean, said "Dean likes the taste of his own foot."
Even Democrats grumbled about Dean's judgment and choice of words.

but his remarks are accurate:

"It's pretty hard to deny that predominantly that's what the Republican Party looks like. It is a party controlled by the conservative Christian agenda".

the righties are ranting and raving about this coz it's true, but they can never admit it.
the GOP is an interesting spot these days... sorta like the Dems in '94. can't defend their record and can't admit who they are.
