Dr. Dean won friends at the Congressional Black Caucus by being the first presidential candidate to seek an audience, and by endorsing its bill on minority health issues. He mentioned that yesterday in his New York visit, which ended at a birthday party fund-raiser for Representative Major R. Owens in Brooklyn. The caucus chairman, Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, and Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr. of Chicago are expected to announce their formal endorsements of Dr. Dean soon. Since hiring Andi Pringle, an African-American strategist, as his deputy campaign manager, Dr. Dean has spent many Sundays in black churches. He recently told congregants in Detroit, "Its going to be a long time before I go to a white church again." He also has aides devoted to promoting him in the African-American news media and has hired Doug Thornell, the former spokesman for the black caucus, as his traveling press secretary. Donna Brazile, a leading African-American consultant who is not involved in the race, said Dr. Dean called her for advice more often than any other candidate except her former boss, Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri. Christopher Edley, a Harvard law professor who is among Dr. Dean's leading black supporters, said that what his candidate lacked in experience with minorities, he made up for with "values that provide a compass and a political character that is prepared to take on tough issues."
