Rebels For Dean
Vermonter Howard Dean's grab for the redneck vote has won him just the kind of support he doesn't want: white supremacists. The Council of Conservative Citizens has put an open letter of support for Dean on its Web page, next to the Confederate flag Dean cited--then denounced--when airing plans to go after white guys who display the rebel emblem on pickup trucks. "We wish to commend you," says CCC Prez Tom Dover. Recall that talks by Sen. Trent Lott to the group helped end his reign as majority leader as Republicans ducked racism charges.

What say you Deanies? How should Howard handle this? Should he go? I have made no judgements about this. I'm interested in your takes.

If you are indeed serious that you wish to be the candidate of "white folks in the South who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals on the back," then the Council of Conservative Citizens is the group to whom you need to speak.

Hoping to see you in Nashville next weekend, we thank you for your attention.
