Dean in Carolina for "symbolic reasons?"

This is fun.

Following President Bush's SOTU, "the gang" at Fox News discussed the speech and the two parties' strategies.

The Boston Globe's Nina Easton opined that Democrats really want to reach out to mainstream Americans and red states. That's why Democratic Chairman Howard Dean was down here in red state North Carolina tonight. It was "symbolic," Easton said.

The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes countered, "What's 'symbolic' about that is the Democrats didn't want Dean in Washington tonight."

Dear AC,

I got it fixed.

Hope those grad students weren't too confused.

Thank you.
