Howard Dean: New England Republicans "Different"

Wow, what's up with Howard Dean, tossing a backhanded compliment to a handful of Republicans? At a recent appearance in New Hampshire, Deanie had this to say:

New England Republicans are different than most. They are more reasonable and thoughtful," Dean said. "You don't get as many right-wing wackos."

As a New England Republican, I am touched, truly touched. Get out the Kleenex, I think I'm going to cry...

Of course, his main message was for the Democratic party faithful, discussing the Dems' upcoming return to the Oval Office:

"The burden of proof is on us," Dean said. "Our job is not just to say what we don't like about the president. Our job is to make sure that when we get in we earn the right to stay."

This is the most sensible thing I have ever heard him say. But, the key is that they have to get in. It isn't just about how to get the message out, but the message itself. Good luck guys...you're going to need it.
