“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Dean garners black support, bad picture

Here's the story:
Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor whose appeal to minorities was questioned during his presidential race, won support today from several key black Democratic National Committee members for his bid to be DNC chairman.

Dean is vying with former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and six other candidates for the chair position.

Dean today won the support of Yvonne Atkinson Gates, chair of the DNC's black caucus; Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois; and Minyon Moore, a longtime DNC member and former aide to President Clinton.

I find it hard to believe that the Denver Post couldn't find a better photo than that, however.
