I think this may be Dean's undoing.
That having been said, the Dems ought to be focused on the demographic group that is white, male, southern and poor. The fact that this group has become almost as solidly Republican as the black, male, southern, poor vote is Democrat swings a number of important states, and there is no good reason for that to be the case once we get past racial issues, and I do believe we are, as a country, finally getting past those racial issues.
But we aren't going to win that group by calling them racists. It suggests that Dean isn't very over it.
