"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Party boss Howard Dean and a largely sympathetic audience of Senate Democrats on Thursday brushed off the uproar over his comments about Republicans and promised to turn public attention back to issues like Social Security.
"We're not going to let the Republicans set the agenda and to be quite honest we aren't going to let you set the agenda," Dean told reporters after a private meeting at the Capitol with Senate Democratic leaders, calling the fallout over his comments "a media circus."
After lunch with the party's full Senate caucus, which senators described as "frank" and "largely positive," most Democrats said they were willing to give Dean some leeway."-from the Reuters story this afternoon.
