More Schiavo

This would be dumb.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean said "that his party would wield the Terri Schiavo case against Republicans in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but for now needed to stay focused battling President Bush on Social Security," the Los Angeles Times reports.

Said Dean: "We're going to use Terri Schiavo later on."

People were repelled that Terri Schiavo's tragic situation was made into a political issue in the first place. My prediction is that reintroducing it as a political issue would backfire on Democrats.
