"DENVER — Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean on Thursday praised Colorado Democrats for taking control of the state House and Senate last year and indirectly took a jab at Focus on the Family, which recently started a nonprofit group to address public policy concerns. During a fundraiser, Dean said state Democratic Party leaders turned the state into a swing state last year and he promised to work hard for more Democratic victories next year.
"If you want to focus on the family, focus on minimum wage. If you want to focus on the family, focus on smaller class size," Dean said in an apparent reference to Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, whose public policy arm has campaigned against gay marriage. Dean said gay marriage is not mentioned once in the Bible.
Dean said Republicans will try to make immigration a national issue. "In 2006, it's going to be immigrants, you wait and see," he said."-from the AP story tonight.
