Reply #27: In some regions of the country, Dems [View All]

are pro-life and they get elected. I think MS is one of those states who have a lot of local and state elected officials who are Dems. Do you really think it is wise of Dean to go into the South telling those Dems that they aren't welcome? We are trying to win in the South. Some issues will be different in the South - Guns, State's rights, etc. The Democratic Party is the big tent party, do all Dems have to accept EVERY plank in the platform? Christ almighty, we let Zell Miller stay in the party even after his treasonous speech at the RNC Convention. Noone asks Joe Lieberman to tone it back.

Howard Dean has been saying the same thing since he became DNC Chair -
"there is room in our party for pro-life Dems, but we do not need to give up our ideals to win those people over". This reporter misrepresented what Dean said - read the post from the person who was there.
