Casey's anti-abortion views aren't likely to have much impact in the Senate, but here we are fighting against a SCOTUS nominee who will likely reduce the majority on court that agree with the decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and on the other hand we're supposed to fight for Casey.

I have supported Democrats who have opposed abortion (Bonior was one, but I believe he was less strident in his anti-choice views), but it's definitely a strike against them. If Dean wants to reach out that's fine, but I think he should also preface comments like that by making it clear that the party strongly and unequivocally supports a woman's right to choose.
