"He chose to reverse course when he was faced with a tough challenge early in the primaries from Dean who voted no."

Are you absolutely sure about this fact King? Did you come across it while engaged in one of your marathon periodical reading sessions?

To the best of my knowledge Howard Dean is the former Governor of the state of Vermont and never has been a member of either the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate.

So tell me... when EXACTLY did he VOTE no?
