"EDINBURG — The national leader of the Democratic Party denied Friday that Republicans are winning over traditionally Democratic black and Hispanic voters, and he pledged that his party will no longer take its supporters for granted. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee since February, addressed more than 300 people, including students and elected officials, during a visit to the University of Texas-Pan American. Edinburg was the latest stop on a national tour Dean is making as part of a 50-state strategy to strengthen state Democratic parties.
The former candidate for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination rallied local Democrats with a pledge that the national party will not turn its back on labor, women, blacks and Hispanics. He said the party leadership has learned from its mistakes and is committed to standing up for what Democrats believe."-from the story in The Monitor (TX).
