Howard Dean: Can't We All Just Get Along?
DNC Chair Howard Dean was in Tallahassee Tuesday evening for a $100 a plate fundraiser. He said the current spat between national and state party will be a distant memory come November, calling it a "fight between politicians."
“Do I wish this fight weren’t happening? Yes,” Dean said. “At the end of the day, I think Iraq, health care, education and ethics matter far more than a fight between politicians.”
Republican college students picketed outside with hand-made posters that said "No Votes For Money."
Missing was state Democratic Party chairwoman Karen Thurman who had been named as a host of the fundraiser. Dean said that Thurman was scheduled to come, but something came up at the last minute. He added that he and Thurman talk all the time. A state party spokesman said Thurman had a conflict.
