Democrats find that merlot might not be not for everyone

Michael Powell and Sonya Geis of The Associated Press write in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,

DNC [Democratic National Committee] Chairman Howard Dean has relied on the merlot description several times recently as he travels about the nation talking to Democrats. In mid-September, Dean spoke to some deep-pocketed Democrats from the island of Manhattan. Afterward, a Democrat wrote a memo sharing highlights from Dean's talk.

"The DNC has identified four critical segments of the U.S. electorate," this attendee wrote. "Merlot Democrats: We are the base."

Hasn't Gov. Dean seen Sideways?
