From the "Not a Big Surprise" File...
Howie "The Scream" Dean is endorsing a candidate for US Sentate from his home state of Vermont. Ok, that is really no big surprise. The surprise (but not a real big one) was who he endorsed.
Breaking party lines, former Gov. Howard Dean said Monday he supports Rep. Bernard Sanders' bid for the U.S. Senate, saying the Independent makes a "strong candidate.""A victory for Bernie Sanders is a win for Democrats," Dean said in a telephone interview Monday.
Technically, Bernie Sanders is an Independent, but that's just because not many Socialist party members have a chance of winning an election. Yes, Sanders is a socialist, so he and Howie have plenty in common.
"I think Gov. Dean and Congressman Sanders share an interest in beating back a very aggressive reactionary agenda of President Bush and congressional Republicans," Weaver (Sanders' chief of staff and campaign spokesman) said. "We intend to win this seat and Bernie will be a strong voice against the Bush agenda."Uh... ummm... yeah. That evil Bush agenda. The one that most of the country is in favor of. You go for it, Bernie... we're behind you 100%. (I just hope the GOP in Vermont has someone good to run against him.)
