Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean has been meeting with world leaders to repair "the extraordinary damage" that the Bush administration has done to America's image and to prepare the way for a new Democratic president.
"I am trying to build relationships with other governments in preparation for a Democratic takeover," Dean told me. "I want to make clear that there is an opposition in America and that we are ready to take power and that when we do, we are going to have much better relationships with them."
In an hour-long interview at Democratic National Committee headquarters Tuesday, Dean also revealed that he has been quietly meeting with well-known Christian evangelical leaders in order to build new bridges between them and the Democratic Party.
"We're never going to convince them on civil rights for gay people or abortion rights," Dean said. "But we certainly can focus on the things that we both care about a lot: global warming, poverty and the materiality of our culture."
And, oh yeah, Dean could run for president again.
"I have no idea," Dean replied when I asked him if he would. "I hope we are going to elect a Democratic president, and I won't have to think about it until 2016. In which case, I will be a lot older than I am now."
Dean would be 68 in 2016, which is younger than John McCain is now.

What a brilliant idiot he is. He figured out by himself that he will be older when some years go by.
This reads to me like Howard Dean is going around undermining our country. He has no authority to meet with foreign leaders to make any kind of promises or deals,not even for a Democrat party that hasn't won yet.
If I were Hillary and Obama I would make it clear to him that he cant make deals for me.
We used to call this type of thing treason. Now its just called democrat politics.
So much for politics stopping at the water's edge, especially in a time of war.
"materiality"?? Geez, what ever happened to materialism? I guess its a return to normalcy at the DNC.
I don't even know where to begin ......
what a massive egotistical jerk.
Dean wants all of us to give up what we have and live in corrugated tin shanties as an expression of our "shame" over being a prosperous nation.
I'm sure he'll be the first to lead by example.
Get your autographed Howard Dean Foreign Policy Knee Pads right here...come and get 'em...!
No...Dean is just doing what the Dems have done..and bragged about...
They go all over the world having their OWN foreign policy with dictators and tyrants...and then wonder why these countries don't have respect for the POTUS/CIC.
I'm thinking: odds are, he wasn't a very good doctor, either!
PING
I just can't even imagine his "bedside manner"...ugh
Can we question his patriotism now???
Do democrats ever do anything but blame others?
" in preparation for a Democratic takeover"
They aren't content with just destroying America. They want to destroy the world.
Hey Dean-o, I don't care about global warming. If everyone followed my path of dealing with poverty - get educated and get a job or start a business - then poverty wouldn't be problem for them. From what material should our culture be made? Denim and leather, maybe?
What evangelical leaders would actually meet with a piece of shit like Howard Dean?
Rick Warren
