Howard Dean at the DNC Spring Meeting

Thank you Holly*J for letting us know when Howard Dean was on C-SPAN this morning, speaking from the DNC Spring Meeting in New Orleans. You can see archived posts from this weekend's meeting at the DNC blog. Here's an article from Bloomberg.com about what Howard had to say:

Dean Says Republicans Offer 'Deficits' and 'Deceit'

The Democrats chose New Orleans for their three-day meeting to emphasize, according to Dean, that "Republicans have cut and run when it comes to rebuilding the Gulf Coast. We won't."

Dean yesterday donned a white Hazmat suit and brown and yellow work gloves to help gut a storm-ravaged home in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward so that it can eventually be restored.

Update: Just saw on the DNC blog that Tim Tagaris is back in D.C. after returning from the meeting in New Orleans. Wanted to share this piece of his recent blog post:

As I was watching Governor Dean speak at this afternoons general session, I got the goosebumps again. They are the same goosebumps I personally would get at times during the 2004 presidential primaries, but today they were for a different reason. As the governor spoke about the Fifty State Strategy, the grassrtoots, and individual success stories around the country, you could start to feel a buzz in the room begin to build. I am so proud to have been a part of the events like the national canvass taking place next weekend and the Democracy Bonds community (and an owner myself!), and I wasn't the only one... As the room erupted in cheers, the goosebumps came. We have every reason to be proud of the DNC this evening. The Party has come a long way in the last few months, and we have even more to build over the next few years. But one thing we know for sure, if you live in Wyoming or Ohio, Florida or Phoenix, Alaska or Alabama ... Democrats are fighting to win from the top of the ticket to the bottom. And that is something we can all get excited about as we approach the 2006 midterms.
