Dean, at CCRI, blasts Bush administration

WARWICK - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, speaking at a rally in Rhode Island today, blasted Bush administration policies on Iraq, the economy and the response to Hurricane Katrina.

Addressing a gathering of 250 to 300 mostly college-age students at the Community College of Rhode Island's Warwick campus, Dean called on Rhode Island Democrats to elect Lt. Gov. Charles Fogarty to replace Governor Carcieri and to work hard to defeat U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee and put a Democrat in his seat.

Dean also called on the Republican Chafee to vote against Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.
