Although poorly worded, I think we all know what he meant.
He simply was stating that poor Southern whites should vote Democrat because we would help them more than the Republicans.

But....
The comments have dropped Dean below Edwards on my preference list because it shows how out of touch Dean is with the South.
NOBODY with a confederate flag in their truck window will vote for a Democrat who passed a civil union bill and is from the Northeast
I have friends (yes I interact with Republicans) who have "redneck" tendencies and I can guarantee that this comment will only hurt Dean's chances with Southern white male voters. They will think it is funny.
Plus, I would guess that he has, although unintentionally, hurt his relationship with alot minority voters across America who, correctly, view the confederate flag with hatred and disgust.
