Does it help or hurt Democrats for the media to be focusing on this?

If they think “hey, I’m a white Christian,” then it probably hurts. I’m not really sure, myself.
But Howard Dean sure does have a powerful influence on the political chattering classes, doesn’t he? He’ll be a powerful force for good if he’s careful.
