Dean Says Democrats Will Make Schiavo Case an Election Issue–The Los Angeles Times

You know, I’m not saying Democrats shouldn’t make the case an election issue. The republicans complete and utter tone-deafness as to what the rest of the country thought about it should be shoved down their throats. I’m just saying my knee-jerk reaction is to wish that Dean had thought a little bit about how what he said could be taken out of context.

Also, just to paint the target on us a little bigger, he said it at a “gay rights group’s breakfast in West Hollywood.” I don’t think that’s going to fit into the average republican from Kansas or Ohio’s sterotyped view of Democrats, do you?

Not that I’m saying he shouldn’t have spoken at a gay rights group’s breakfast in West Hollywood…
