Howard Dean is still totally, awesomely, clueless:

''The reason the Republicans call names is because they have nothing to say about balancing the budget, creating jobs or doing anything about health care or education.''

One major reason his party lost the 2004 race to the "brain-dead" Republicans is that it has a "tendency to explain every issue in half an hour of detail," Dean told the semi-annual meeting of Democrats Abroad, which brought about 150 members from Canada and 30 other countries to the Toronto for two days.

Never mind the obvious hypocrisy, what bothers me more is that Dean, and by extension the Democrat party, thinks that they keep losing elections not because people don't agree with their positions, but because Democrats are not doing a good enough job explaining their complexity to an America populated by drooling morons. If they continue to persue a strategy of "Hey, Stupid, vote for us" kind of strategy, expect them to keep losing elections.
