Dem Leader Reaches Out, At Home And Abroad

Party Chairman Howard Dean Meeting With World Leaders, Evangelicals In Preparation For '08

    The White House and Republicans are pushing their aggressive way forward while Democrats are pulling hard in the opposite direction. Tracie Strahan reports on this volatile situation.

(The Politico)  By The Politico's Roger Simon.


Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean has been meeting with world leaders to repair "the extraordinary damage" that the Bush administration has done to America's image and to prepare the way for a new Democratic president.

"I am trying to build relationships with other governments in preparation for a Democratic takeover," Dean told me. "I want to make clear that there is an opposition in America and that we are ready to take power and that when we do, we are going to have much better relationships with them."

In an hour-long interview at Democratic National Committee headquarters Tuesday, Dean also revealed that he has been quietly meeting with well-known Christian evangelical leaders in order to build new bridges between them and the Democratic Party.

"We're never going to convince them on civil rights for gay people or abortion rights," Dean said. "But we certainly can focus on the things that we both care about a lot: global warming, poverty and the materiality of our culture."

And, oh yeah, Dean could run for president again.

"I have no idea," Dean replied when I asked him if he would. "I hope we are going to elect a Democratic president, and I won't have to think about it until 2016. In which case, I will be a lot older than I am now."

Dean would be 68 in 2016, which is younger than John McCain is now.

I asked Dean if he missed running.

"Oh, of course. Are you kidding? Who wouldn't miss it?" he said seriously. "I don't miss the 18-hour days, seven days in a row. But the adrenaline rushes and the tactics and all that kind of stuff, I miss that. But I like what I am doing, and I never wish I were running in this cycle."

Though Dean's presidential candidacy flamed out early in 2004, he made at least three significant contributions to the Democrats: He legitimized opposition to the Iraq war within the party leadership, he ushered in a new era of aggressive in-your-face campaigning, and he recast the party as willing to fight for Democratic ideals rather than compromising with Republicans.

And he hasn't changed his style.

When I asked him if Republicans would always be seen as tougher than Democrats when it came to national defense, he said: "It is possible to be tough without filling Walter Reed with 12,000 wounded kids and then not taking care of them."

Dean went on: "Now that we have a real problem with Iran, there's not much we can do about it because of the president's incredible foolishness in running our armed forces through the gauntlet in Iraq, which wasn't necessary."

He also said that having "the moral high ground" is part of defending the country.

John:

Stay AWAY from the Evangelicals!!

Haven't you learned anything from this current administration's pandering to these narrow minded zealots?

Keep Church and State separate at all costs.

Yes, to democrats, it's much more important to care about what other countries think of us......France, Russia, Germany.....and all the other "fair weather" friends of ours.

Keep up the good work, Howie. History is littered with appeasers and a**kissers. You'll fit in well.

Kudos to Howard Dean for getting the country jump-started for a course correction. The devastation left in the wake of this Bush/Cheney criminal regime is incredible. An early start at mending fences should help the democratic president hit the ground running in 2009.

We can ignore all of the trashy comments from disgruntled right-wingers here, their time is past and Howard Dean has helped bring that about. His 50-state strategy ("all red states will turn blue") has been the most important element of the Democratic Party's victory in 2006, even if Clintonite blockheads like Carville and Rahm Emanuel can't see it. And of course he's absolutely right about the need to repair the disgrace and dishonor which Bush has brought upon our country in the eyes of the world. The 2 strongest legs of the Democratic Party tripod are Dean's DNC and Moveon.org. The last leg, the surviving Clintonites and Washington insiders, have no choice any more but to acknowledge the ideology and values which matter to the rank and file. In 10 years when the Bush years are an old nightmare we'll remember Dean as one of the heroes of this moment and the redneck trash-talkers will long since have retreated from public forums where they have no influence any more...

Howard Dean is a joke there is no one more polarizing in politics today than Howard Dean. His rhetoric is more vitriolic than even the majority of left wingers here these CBS comment areas. Just another blame America far left Demcorat. He is a classic example of where the modern Democratic party has gone. WAY! to the extreme left.

Now that is a scary thought....
It is funny that when Howard Dean was governor of Vermont he didn't act the way he does now. He is like a chameleon. He is catering to the radical left. Things come out of his mouth that are half truths or at other times he has no idea what he is talking about. As for MoveOn.org ...they are just a group of liberal socialist of the same color...big mouths spewing propaganda.

History has its appeasers and a**kissers, I'm sure. But can you name more of them than you can despots and tyrants? Oh, W and Cheney are the latest two to add to that list. Obviously, US_Infidel, like your leader, you think diplomacy unnecessary if you can shoot 'em into submission, right?

If you travel abroad and talk with people from other nations, particularly European nations, you will quickly learn that the world does not hate America nor Americans. The world hates George bush and the Bush regime and what they have done to the world. You may, however, get the feeling that educated people of other nations think Americans are kinda dumb for voting this madman into power, not once... but twice.

Excellent point! I'm conservstive and voted for W twice and I am not happy with his administration. Bush has indeed made the US look bad, but idiots like Dean doing this kind of *** are no better!

It will take many years to restore the respectability in the world community we once enjoyed, but at least Dean is making an effort

Dean isn't running for president now because he doesn't have any more of a chance in this election cycle than he did in 2004.

There just isn't any room in today%u2019s politics for any politician who truly is for the average American.

Unless and until we purge the government of corrupt politicians, from both parties, there never will be.

Honesty, to too many of today%u2019s politicians, is like sunlight to Dracula, it would destroy them.

Napoleon abolished France's incest laws in 1810. Neither is it a crime in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Portugal or Turkey. Japan, Argentina and Brazil have also legalised it in recent years.

Howard Dean's 50 state stategy has come under criticism from Democrats who have written off huge chunks of the country (ie: the South) and he has come under critisim form the right for, well, being Howard Dean!

I agree. He deserves kudos and I credit him for helping the Democrats take back the House and the Senate in 2006.

The American People are not stupid! We know that if the Democratic Majority does not approve the Iraq War Supplemental Budget Requested by President Bush for the War the War Stops!

IMMEDIATELY No matter who they are, Democrats in positions of Leadership, from the County Leadership to the Leadership of the Congress that do not execute the will of the people, must be removed from their Leadership Positions and replaced with someone that will effectively execute the office in which they are trusted.

CONGRESS FIDDLES WHILE IRAQ BURNS AND BUSH RUNS AMOK!

Write your Representatives and Senators! SHOW THEM YOUR DISDAIN OF THEIR COWARDOUS ACTIONS WHILE OUR TROOPS ARE BEING KILLED AND OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE BEING TRAMPLED ON BY THIS CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION! http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/

WOW, the conspiracy theories here...just ridiculous...anyhow to the article - Howard Dean is obviously more effective that Terry McAuliffe ever was - he motivates his base far more than the bland McAuliffe, of course Iraq is the best gift a DNC chairman could ever ask for in the 2006 elections and probably for 2008 (though we as Americans should all hope not).

Howard Dean is a god-send. I was angry with the democrats after the botched election of 2000 for not fighting for the core democratic beliefs and angry at the republicans for their corruptness which is destroying our nation. Dean came in and kicked the democrats in the rear. He told them to stand for something and fight for it and don't apologize for being democrat. He told the republicans that we are not going to stand around ringing our hands and letting them get away with all their corruptness.

Go Dean!!!!
