Peg: Byrd? Are you referring to the ex-member of the Klan?

I thought it was a good speech and a fitting kick-off to his re-election effort. I don't see any of the current Democratic candidates beating him anyway.

Now, if only Dean would splinter from the Democratic Party and start a third one, or choose to lead the Green Party ...now that would be heaven! That would provide a bit of insurance for my belief.
