If it's a planned strategy, all I can think of is that Dean is attempting to pick off many of the dissatisfied Republicans who believe the religious right has too much influence in their party. It's true that this is a growing contingent of potential Democratic voters.

There probably was a better way of phrasing, however, that might have accomplished winning over these voters without alienating the white Christian voters within our own party. If it's a strategy, I think it was poorly executed.

I like that Dean is starting to take on the GOP, but I wish he'd focus on their leadership and not their membership. I don't have a lot of use for most of them, but there are plenty of moderate Republicans we can easily pick up if we frame the issues correctly.
