The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former Governor of Vermont contrasted the two parties’ presidential candidates, saying that with a woman and an African-American as the two front-runners, the Democratic field “looks like America,” while the all-white male Republican field “looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s.”

Republicans in the 1850s: William Seward (anti-slavery), Salmon P. Chase (anti-slavery), John C. Fremont (anti-slavery).
Oh, and Abe Lincoln.
See, Howard Dean should stick to politics, or at least medicine.
I saw Dean speak right before the 2004 election. Then, I wrote about the "two Deans": the hyper-partisan, Democratic party hack, and the ideas guy who was kind of at odds with both parties. As DNC chair, of course, we see the first one of those guys. This statement didn't make any sense at all.
