In Senator Harry Reid, Dean sees vestiges of himself
Reid, Pelosi and Dean are working together in close contact according to this article,
in case we had any questions.

WASHINGTON -- Howard Dean, whose occasional blunt talk has landed him in political hot water, has met his match and made a new friend.

In Washington, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada has emerged as the fire-breathing face of the party, describing the Federal Reserve Board chairman, Alan Greenspan, as a ''political hack" and charging that President Bush and his allies are ''drunk with power." Aides to Dean say Reid's recent aggressive style has earned admiration from the former Vermont governor, and is producing a budding friendship between the two men.

<snip>

Reid and Dean have strategized by phone at least a dozen times over the past few weeks with the Democratic National Committee, which Dean chairs, producing television ads to bolster Reid's efforts to crush White House plans to create private Social Security accounts for younger workers. Together with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Dean, the doctor from the Green Mountains, and Reid, the lawyer from the Nevada desert, are shaping a Democratic Party that is rigorously oppositional, a strategy that GOP opponents call ''obstructionist," and one that some Democrats find invigorating while others criticize as shortsighted.

<snip>

'He knows are his two most important individual clients," said Jim Jordan, an adviser to Dean. ''He wants very badly to construct a that serves their purposes."

1. Since Reid is Pro-Life, I hope he and Pro-Choice Dean get together
on some strategy to move that discussion forward sometime soon. It would seem to be a good time to try to get people to think differently about so-called Pro-lifers right now because of the S------ case.

Pro-Choice should consider throwing the Lifers a "bone" in exchange for their public recognition that war is abortion.

3. The term is not Pro-life, but rather Anti-choice

4. Most of the time, Yes, but since Reid is one of us,
maybe he is more honest about what Pro-Life is really supposed to be.

5. Vestige, n. a degenerate or imperfectly developed organ
or structure that has little or no utility. Yeah, that would be Reid.
