Dem Chairman Speaks

Submitted by politicalWinters on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 6:45am.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says - naturally - that Republican frontrunner John McCain "isn't a strong candidate."

Quote: "Look, John McCain is wrong on Iraq, wrong on the economy and wrong on health care. Those are the three biggest issues that the American people are voting on. At least he's wrong compared to what they believe should happen. And so he is not a strong candidate.

There's lots of other quotes and issues, including what to do about Florida and Michigan delegates, the campaign and the two Democratic frontrunners.

As to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Dean - again naturally - says "Either of these candidates would be terrific."
