Dean evidently is a black man with pagan beliefs since he is not in a white Christian party.
He was so black that "Russell Simmons, a loyal Democrat, met in Washington yesterday with Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, but not with Democratic Party chief Howard Dean. "When it comes to reaching out to poor people and minorities, I think there's no enthusiasm on Howard's part, while Ken shows a real willingness to listen," Simmons told me."
He was so in touch with Democrats that this is what fellow Democratic leaders said after his comments a few days ago:
Dean ''doesn't speak for me with that kind of rhetoric, and I don't think he speaks for the majority of Democrats," Joe Biden, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday on ABC's ''This Week."
John Edwards said Dean ''is not the spokesman for the party."
Dean is ''a voice. I don't agree with it," Edwards, a former senator and the Democrats' vice-presidential nominee in 2004, said Saturday at a party fund-raising dinner in Nashville.
