He spoke at the UAW convention this morning, but I have not seen anything about it. Also there was a GLBT fundraiser in DC yesterday with Jesse Jackson, Jr., and there does not seem to be anything about it either.

I know he was at the funeral in GA with Jesse Jackson, Jr. JJ, Jr. also did the DNC podcast this week. Here is the link to the post and podcast.

I see they are doing the angry thing again at Newsweek, with a picture of an enthusiastic Dean. The press release must have gone out from Rove that our Democrats are too angry to win anything.

I figure we might as well be angry since they are accusing us of it anyway.

1. I'm like Steve Gillard..

I "don't care what they think!"

Snip~
"Not one of these people said this was a lie, a slander. Jonah Goldberg laughed at the idea of people drowning in the Superbowl. They cheered the idea of black people being shot in the streets. They said we were too stupid to leave the city when they had no cars and no money

While Bush sat on his hands.

So now, these filthy vermin want to give us lectures . They can eat their lectures.

We don't care what they think. They may have their lackies, and they best keep their mouths shut about this, but 98 percent of blacks have no use for the GOP.

What? They think we don't know they're racists? They hated Dr. King and his wife in life and now in death. They hate that blacks and latinos no longer live in peonage. Only one of their bought and paid for fools would attack how Mrs. King was buried. To the rest of it, it was a fittintg tribute and making Bush sit there for hours was wonderful. He was told the truth and he couldn't run."

btw..the republicans are too stupid and corrupt to win anything and we don't need propoganda from the fascist corporate media to get that through to the American People.

2. Wonder if they will discuss the campaign reform issue before the court now

Dean was in VT on Monday announcing this "friend of the court" brief.

Former Gov. Howard Dean announced Monday that the Democratic National Committee, of which he is chairman, would file a friend-of-the-court legal brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a Vermont law that set spending limits for candidates seeking public office.

"The Democratic Party has to be on record in favor of real campaign finance reform," Dean said. "It's time to take forever the stench of dirty money out of politics."

The U.S. Supreme Court will consider the constitutionality of Vermont's 1997 campaign finance law following oral arguments scheduled for Feb. 28. The case focuses on the provisions in the law that limit how much candidates can spend and how much political parties can contribute to campaigns. The Vermont Republican Party, Libertarians and Vermont Right to Life challenged these limits as restrictions on free speech.

"I'm very proud as the DNC chair to be doing this," Dean said. It would be hypocritical for Democrats to "pillory Republicans for corruption," Dean said, and then fail to support a strong campaign reform law such as Vermont's. He admitted that some people in the Democratic Party aren't thrilled he had chosen to put the party on record in support of Vermont's law. "I think it is going to shock a lot of people. I'll get some backlash."
