"Howard Dean calls for an end to divisiveness, blaming those 'bigoted right-wing Taliban types' for the heated rhetoric that has divided the nation."
That means that Pubbies are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of America. Howie doesn't like it!
Of course he would not include himself in his muttered solipsisms:
"The Democratic Party has foundered in recent years because not enough quality candidates have run for local offices that would later put them in positions to become national players, Dean said."
That includes you Howie, BTW.
