from CQPolitics:

Dean, who met with reporters at a Wednesday breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor, conceded that “a national wave is necessary” for his party to win congressional majorities in this November’s elections. Dean said that there are two conditions for such a wave to occur: that people “want change” — which Dean said is borne out by polling data — and that the Democratic Party “has to be seen as the vehicle for change.”

My emphasis because that is the important part. As I over-read recently, folks ain’t gonna change horses unless they see a real reason to - no matter how screwed up their horse is.

Dean touts coming success in Ohio:

Touted his party’s chances in Ohio, where Republicans are on the defensive amid questions about the ethical behavior of Gov. Bob Taft, Rep. Bob Ney and other members of the state GOP. Dean noted that Rep. Ted Strickland, the party’s pick for the open governor’s seat, and Rep. Sherrod Brown, who is challenging Republican Sen. Mike DeWine, face no serious opposition in the May 2 Democratic primary. Dean touted Franklin County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy, who is challenging Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce in the Columbus-area 15th District.

Face no serious competition. Right. Damn, I wished this were a MTB session…

I like the Kilroy mention, but what about the others? Is Howard really in touch with Ohio?
