Dean Calls For Do-Over

When elections don't go their way, Democrats never seem willing to move on. Instead, the seek help from the courts and call for new elections... and That is exactly what Howard Dean wants today in Florida, after Republican Vern Buchanan won Katherine Harris's former seat in the House.

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean called for another election in the race to replace Rep. Katherine Harris, saying the declared Republican winner should not be sworn in until election questions are sorted out.

"You cannot seat someone if you don't have an election that's valid," Dean said in a taped interview scheduled to air Sunday on a Tampa Bay area news channel. The St. Petersburg Times reported the comments in its Thursday editions.

Democrat Christine Jennings is contesting her loss to Republican Vern Buchanan and has sued for a new election. On Thursday, Jennings said she will ask the U.S. House to take the extreme measure of conducting its own investigation into the election.

Democrats just can't lose with dignity can they? Elections that result in slim victories for Democrats are always valid for them, but slim victories for Republicans are always questionable in their view.
