Howard Dean campaigns in Tallahassee

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean told a Tallahassee audience today that southerners have to quit basing their votes on "race, guns, God and gays."

Dean, making his first campaign foray into North Florida, spoke at a rally in Jacksonville then addressed more than 500 people at a luncheon of the Capital Tiger Bay Club.
…
Dean said he hopes to reassemble a coalition of conservative southern voters like President Franklin Roosevelt had in the "solid South" 70 years ago. Although his opposition to the war in Iraq and his criticism of the Bush tax cuts do not score well in polls in the South, Dean said he hopes working families will support his call for improving education and health care.

those are the wedge issues that the repubs use everytime. i'm glad howard is going to take them on. somebody has to, and apparently he is the only one that is willing to.

the truth is the truth, regardless of how it is "spun".

And he says all this nasty truth 'n stuff...and won't apologize for it, 'n stuff...

They have to stop assuming that Republicans own the flag.

We have to start carrying more flags to our rallies. I always do. Not to wrap myself in it like the Republicans do, but to take it back because it's MY FLAG, TOO.
