As pen-l'ers know, I am no fan of Howard Dean. But there seems to be a little bit of demagogy going on here. Blacks and Latinos constitute no more than .05 of Vermont's population. Meanwhile Sharpton endorsed the racist Al D'Amato for Senator in 1986.
Dean isn't running for President of the US, where the percentage of Blacks and Latinos is much higher. I think it's a cool line, regardless of Sharpton's endorsement, but I wonder what he got for the endorsement.
