The crowd grew feistier Saturday during a speech by Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, who echoed a complaint by the state's teachers that Schwarzenegger had reneged on a promise to deliver $2 billion in unanticipated funds to public schools.

``We will say no to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's attempt to take $2 billion out of the education budget,'' Dean said. ``Governor, keep your promise to the children of California and fund public schools. We don't need any more corrupt Republicans in office in this country.''

"The convention marked one of the first major public appearances for Dean since taking the helm at the DNC in February. The former Vermont governor and 2004 presidential candidate also urged Democrats to retool their message."

``It's not that Americans don't share our values, our problem is that we don't communicate what those values are,'' Dean said. ``At the other end of all their anxiety about economics is a profound anxiety about their kids. What they're worried about more than anything is their kids and their families.''

3. Given Arnold's record with women, I'd rather keep children away from him..

And pick someone else to handle the education crisis.

Point taken, however!

5. This is why he's there...to take on the bullies.

I believe that Dean is the very best choice we couldhave made for DNC Chairman. Thanks Dr. Dean!
