''It's right vs. left as Buchanan, Dean to spar at Meijer Gardens''

I don't like the left-right frame, but it's a chance to get the message out in Michigan anyway. "Dean, recently elected as the Democratic National Committee chairman, has the task of turning his party's fortunes around. President Bush's continued campaign to reform Social Security will work to that end, he said. "People want us to stand in the way of this," Dean said. "Most people don't think we should turn Social Security over to Wall Street so they can risk all their money and go further into debt. I think the public is on our side." President Bush is "actually weaker" on defense than Democrats, and won't be able to parlay national security issues into Congressional gains in 2006, Dean said. "The president is focused on the war in Iraq, but not Iran or North Korea," Dean said.-from the article in the Muskegon Chronicle (MI).
