Dean became the second high profile Democrat to come out against the building of the mosque just blocks from Ground Zero.
On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) became the first high profile Democrat to oppose building it. Reid is locked in a tight re-election race in Nevada against Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle.
“The First Amendment protects freedom of religion," Reid’s spokesman Jim Manley
wrote in an email to NewsCore Monday. "Senator Reid respects that, but thinks that the mosque should be built someplace else."
A Siena Research Institute poll released Wednesday showed that 61 percent of New Yorkers opposed building the mosque at the current location. National polls have showed a similar number of people opposed to it.
