Dean meets with Reid, Pelosi

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean had his first formal meeting Thursday with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) since his ascension to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairmanship has become a certainty.
Dean, who is expected to be elected DNC chairman on Saturday, declined to give specifics about the noon meeting, saying that the three party leaders had a "positive conversation."
"Obviously, we have a lot of work to do," Dean told The Hill.
"Reid and Pelosi have done a lot of remarkable work already," he added.
Laura Gross, Dean's spokeswoman, said that today's meeting was only the beginning.
