Former Vermont Governor and now Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean tried to register young voters in Nevada Wednesday morning according to the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement today: “Yesterday, Howard Dean continued a pattern of making reckless statements attacking John McCain's character and integrity.  Almost 24 hours later, Senators Obama and Clinton have yet to denounce the attack politics of their party's national chairman.  Both Senators Clinton and Obama claim to repudiate the old politics of attack and smear, and yet neither has stood up and spoken to the issue.  So today, I call on both Senators Obama and Clinton to denounce Howard Dean for stating that Senator McCain is a 'blatant opportunist' for discussing his record of military service with the American people.”
