Much more if you scroll down.

Statement from Dean about the purpose:

"“Our goal is to create a unified Democratic Party. It is critically important that we work together with Democratic leaders at every level of government to fight to restore leadership in Washington and across the country that represents the needs of America's working familes, not special interests. From skyrocketing gas prices, to deep cuts to homeland security and student loan programs, this Administration's failures have hurt families in each of the great cities these mayors represent.”"

1. A few pictures.....plus Dean's criticism of Frist's divisiveness.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Democratic Party leader Howard Dean criticized the top Republican in the Senate on Wednesday, complaining that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has put socially divisive issues ahead of more pressing matters such as rising gas prices.

"The majority leader of the United States Senate wants to spend time on flag burning and gay marriage attacks, we want to spend time on what to do about Iraq, how to reduce gas prices for people, what to do about health care," Dean said at a news conference.

The Democratic National Committee chairman hosted a daylong session with Democratic mayors.

A spokeswoman for Frist dismissed Dean's criticism.

2. Again...changed to 1:06 am. I hate it when they do this.

Still seems to be on at about 11:15 on C-Span 2 and on C-Span 1 at 6 in the morning.

1 in the morning and 6 in the morning. Sure wouldn't want to show it in daylight. (snark)
