Unite

Howard Dean kicked off the State DFL convention yesterday by telling democrats to unite.

"Our goal is to end the Bush presidency and not allow a third term for George W. Bush. Mr. Dean added " We honor John McCain's service to America, but he has served enough,"

Dean went to to say that John McCain is

"badly out of touch with what the American people want"

and added that McCain is

"the wrong choice for America's future

Mr. Dean received a ovation when he said:

"Anybody who believes that the American people want to stay in Iraq for another 100 years under any circumstances is badly out of touch with what the American people want"

in a interesting side note,

58 percent of voters under 30 now identify themselves as Democratic or leaning Democratic.

Mr. Dean wrote wrote in a e-mailing earlier this week that:

As we move toward the general election, the Democratic Party has to be the Party of ordinary Americans, not Washington lobbyists and special interests. So, as of this morning, if you're a federal lobbyist, or if you control political action committee donations, we won't be accepting your contribution

Think the Republicans will join this stance?

Not a chance.
