Howard Dean: 'Where the hell is the Democratic Party?'
Former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean on Sunday blasted Democrats for not coalescing behind a cogent message in the midterm elections.
"The Republican message was 'We're not Obama.'" he said on Meet the Press. "What was the Democrats' message? 'Oh, well we're really not either.'"
"You cannot win if you are afraid," he added. "Where the hell is the Democratic Party?" --Jon Terbush
