Dean tells party that Democrats 'are here to fight'

WASHINGTON - Unrepentant after a week of controversy over his inflammatory remarks, Democratic Chairman Howard Dean told party leaders Saturday that casting traditionally liberal issues in moral terms is a key to breaking Republicans' eight-year hold on the White House.

Dean acknowledged that he sees his party's national campaign apparatus as being "30 years behind" the one fielded in November by the Bush-Cheney campaign, and said the solution is for Democrats to be tough, describe themselves boldly and get organized in all 50 states.

"People want us to fight, and we are here to fight," Dean said at a meeting of the party's 63-member executive committee. "We are not going lie down in front of the Republican machine anymore."...

It amounted to a call for the party to reclaim Reagan Democrats, the blue-collar social conservatives who have voted largely Republican for the past 20 years.
In a possible future play for President Bush's voters, the party announced the creation of a Veterans and Military Families Council.
