Reply #47: He's having an uphill struggle

Howard Dean's message in the 04 primaries should be a no-brainer for anyone who calls themselves a Democrat. It was merely a re-affirmation of what the Democratic Party is supposed to stand for.

But instead too many Establishment Democrats branded him as "far left fringe" and out of the mainstream.

And even now, after clawing his way to DNC chair despite formidable opposition, Dean is being forced to tone down the very things we should be proclaiming from the rooftops.
